Guinea family

Santa Fe, TX(Zone 9b)

Our guineas nested next to our porch and hatched all of the eggs. In this climate with very heavy dew every morning, none of the little ones survived more than 2 days. They must be confined to raise young. The problem is that once they are out, no one can catch them. We could'nt even catch the babies. She started a new nest out hidden in the brush and the Raccoons ate them all, including the momma. We still have the Male and he watches out for us, sounding the alarm when needed. He also flirts with my wife.
