It's rather ironic. I just got back from my BIL's house, was up there for a holiday cookout. His 17 Guinea Fowl sounded off just like that video every five minutes the entire time I was there. They were in his 1,000 Sq. ft open top 4' corral enclosure 50 yds from his house and they were still loud. We decided to cook at his father's house next door, which is 100yds from the Guinea pen, and still had to listen to them screeching the entire time.

When it was time for the Guinea Fowl to be put up for the evening 4 hens went into their "coop" and all the rest flew at least 30 foot into the surrounding trees and refused to come down. It took my BIL 2 hours to get most of the Guinea Fowl into the coop for the night and one was still 60 ft up a tree when I left at 10 PM. He called them every name in the book and we had to talk him out of blasting the last one out of the tree.

I visit their house every two weeks or so and both the noise and it's frequency are typical. The rotten Guinea behavior is less frequent but occurs at least once a week due to their hyper skittish nature.

I would prefer to have all my teeth pulled without the benefit of novocaine than own any Guinea Fowl.
It's quail for me.

why do quail need to be away from the chickens?

 

[WaterfowlWierdo]

Biosecurity.....chickens can spread disease to quail that is fatal

Just don't mow tall grass unless your guineas are put away

. On my parents farm as a kid they used hide from the tractor, in the hay, while you were mowing it. It's not a pleasant experience.
