Escape escapades
Little Nosey, being herself. I'm teasing her with a litter grabber. She's like Why. Why are you pointing a robot arm at me?
The guineas had a big adventure, escaping in the morning. Good day for it (not today - today was cold and snowy). They came yelling down the trail, went grazing in the woods, but around lunchtime they were wanting back in. It's cold. We would like to be back with the food.
They found this challenging.
I propped the fence open, away from the corner of the greenhouse. One of them got stuck unable to comprehend going around the end of the fence. The white one appears to be on the way in, but no!
The white one managed to be looking the wrong way when the other one figured it out, and so dithered around Where'd everybody go? Oh look, there's a door!
Shortly after the guineas ran back in, a flock of chickens escaped somehow. I arrived later with lunch, and a visiting dog (because, all the chickens are put away, dogs are cool), and ten chickens and a rooster are sauntering around on the edge of the woods. What the!
I tried to get them back in. The dog didn't help. They fled into the woods and reconvened around the rooster. They got to stay out until nearly bedtime, when they were all waiting by the door. On the bright side one rooster earned his keep. The leghorn rooster was out with them, and they were all glued to him; he was herding and leading them. So that's good to know. He probably talked them all out the gap in the fence in the first place, but he was taking good care.
If only they were as good at escaping back in as they are good at escaping out...
They are terrible at escaping back in. the guineas are the worst. I get so frustrated- Peabrains! but they have other intelligence.
Yes, they've shown themselves to be incredibly adept at causing disturbances and projecting their voices.
lol. Oh yes! To the point it can become threatening to their health.
Well, you can't deny that they're committed.
Guineas are intense animals lol
Some friends of ours have a bunch of them and one retarded bird always gets separated.
Yep. Totally! There's always one looking the wrong way, going the wrong way....
