My guinea fowl (male) is in constant pursuit of my brown hen (Mrs Brown).
I have not decided if he hates her and is an absolute bully or he fancies her.
She doesn't want to be anywhere near him,
Do guinea fowls have an any port in a storm attitude

I thought he'd had his way as well. Hahahaha
No but the little silky rooster (Johnny) just did. Poor Frankie (that's his hen)
I'm shattered, what a hussy.
You just can never tell, you think you've raised them right
It must be the weather

I had an Australorpe who hatched out a clutch of guinea fowl eggs and instead of doing their own thing like chooks do after they mature - the Guinea fowl literally drove her insane, they would not leave her alone.......she would hide and try her best to avoid them, eventually she moved herself from the shed to the green house next to the main house and would insist on being locked in their on her own!
Mrs Brown is the same size as the guinea whereas the others are little silkies so it makes sense.
Maybe a partner would be the answer for him, or just take him out to a friends farm,. The problem there is that the pack out there may not accept him.

I read that they are excellent to have with chooks and good for the pesty bugs
in the garden.
I did stawka. however someone who needs to get a life reported me to council because they walked on her lawn. I had to rehome all of them.
I had rehomed all bar one, a young one who had never done the walk with the troops.
So I rang council and asked if I could keep him, she said no because my yard was too small. I said ok so I must rehome this one also, however you would have no problem with me buying a cockatoo and keeping it in a cage that is too small for a budgie.
I got to keep him. At that time I had no Idea what gender he was and was hoping that he was a hen.
Since their departure most of my neighbours have asked me where they are because they loved having them around.
It only takes one. I know who because all the other neighbours miss them, and that one hadn't even moved in yet, still hasn't.
the only good guinea fowl is a dead guinea fowl that is a long long way from me. Noisy blardy things. I hate them.
They will kill a snake though.
He isn't very noisy. Not as noisy as geese and less scarey.
geese are scary.
we threw Jack The Dingbat into a flock of about 20 geese when he was a pup. Scared the beejeezus out of him. He never looked at poultry after that. He did like to steal eggs though given the chance
