It's running loose. About 5 miles away I seen a mating pair on the gravel road.... but that was 3 years ago. I heard that they are as bad as Guinea hens (hard to keep penned up)

That's cool stuff HD, especially on the run. We use to see some just outside of Lake Lillian,  they were free to roam but musta always went back to a coop or something.

On our overnite car cruise to the casino in Black River Falls last fall, we noticed a bunch of bird crap in front of our cars in the parking lot the next morning. Upon closer inspection, there were some guinea feathers interspersed with it. When we inquired about it at the desk they laughed. There was a roving band of guineas running wild in the area. Everyone locally was trying to catch them but to no avail. Raising guineas growing up, we had a hard time keeping them around. They'd just disappear from time to time & never return. Always figured they probably wound up being lunch for a fox.  :scratch:

Nice one!  The sunflower shells are blowing out of the feeder nicely.
