I don’t know what other people’s guineas act like, but ours are downright goofy sometimes.
For instance, sometimes when they’re sitting around, for no reason at all, they just lose their heads.
What’s more, they don’t even have enough sense to come in out of the rain…
Never mind that they were sitting on top of shelter!
Then there’s the chase. I’ve seen them chase each other for 45 minutes or more, non-stop.
I haven’t decided if this is a race to decide pecking order, or a courtship ritual. I used to think it was pure meanness on the chasing guinea’s part, but lately I’ve been noticing that when the chaser stops, sometimes the chasee comes back to stir things up again.
Whatever the reason for this and other things they do, ALL our guineas have gone goofy.

Crazy birds! And look, they even got the hens a cluckin’! Tsk, tsk!
You got it Amy, these birds are just wacko! The hens are probably clucking to say, “There goes those idiots again!”
So, what’s the fastest you’ve clocked them at?
Sheesh! Those guineas move fast!
You sure know how to crack me up.
Goofy Guineas!! lol!
Thanks for the laughs

That’s what I need, a stopwatch, so I can see how fast they move!
