Guinea question?
I came home yesterday to find my pickup looked like someone had taken a rake to the hood.
Turns out the guineas were using it as a launch pad to get to the rafters and back down again.
So my question is: Do you skin then like a pheasant or pluck them like a chicken?

I second the skinning. And congratulations in advance on your future solitude!

That is hysterical, they're such dodo birds at times. Actually most the time. I guess that's why I love them. It seems like guinea's always find a way to tick their owners off. It's just their nature, I wouldn't part with mine for anything. Well most of the time anyway.

Cornhusker,
I can't tell you whether to pluck or skin but could possibly suggest a paint and body shop.

Guineas? Goats? Nahh they're both small potatoes compared to a horse. I have a green truck that used to be real pretty before the horses got ahold of it. I (yeah dumb me) left it for just five minutes in the paddock while I ran to natures call and when I came back all four of the hayburners were munching on my hood. Poor truck has dents and gouges all over the front. Now we call it the Jolly Green Apple! LOL
