Wow, that's a bummer. Wonder what happened? I can't really say I love spiders... not the 8-legged kind anyway. We have a fragile detente on the outside - I'll let them have their space if they'll leave me to mine. INside I'm afraid I'm a total dictator. MY space, YOU go outside. Except, of course, for the spiders living in my computer. Them I love. ;-) NO garden spiders!???? Wow, that’s a bummer. Wonder what happened?

Gotta go, gotta go. Spiders too close are a no, no, no! I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. Hi Eve, always especially good to get praise from a fellow poet! As for the guineas, I know the males are prone to fight, but I don't think any here have actually killed each other. Are yours penned up or roaming the farm? Mine roam, so they can run away from each other. Do you see the carcass, or do they just disappear? There's usually one male guinea who ends up alpha and roams with the girls. The other males may go off in smaller groups, and sometimes singly. I would guess that would make them easier for a predator to pick off.
