Laura, We acquired our Guinea Chicken this way, as she wandered into my brother's backyard, in the city. The neighbors were afraid of her. Guinea Fowl are Ugly. But, she is super friendly. She wants to sit on your lap, peck your toes, and try to come in the house. It was about this time when she showed up at his back door. We feel she was "LET's Get the kids a Baby Chick for Easter", kinda thing. THen...oops..the Chicken grew up...oops..it's ugly. Anyway, that was 5 yrs ago, and "Pack" is still here. She is our Watch-Chicken as anything new comes into the yard she lets us know before the GSD's do!!

From the responses, I guess he's a normal bird. He seems comfortable around people and animals and if he wants to stick around, I guess we'll just enjoy our new pet. It's been an interesting adventure with critters around here lately. A large flock of wild parrots took up residence in my trees for the winter. The peahen has been around for a couple years now and the Doves came back again. And now, a rooster. It sure is fun living in the City, LOL!
