Guinea's are on the loose

When I arrived to the farm this morning I was greeted as usual by all the animals and then I went to check on the three baby goats right away. Philomena was jumping around playing and was more than happy to be fed her warm milk bottle. I then went to check on Ginger she is the French Alpine goat that I helped Pam with while she was giving birth to Gemello and Philomena on Tuesday afternoon. Ginger came right over and spoke to me and then she started to give me kisses it felt as if she was thanking me for the other day it was quite a compliment. Anyways it was time to go and take care of the chickens and quails. The feeding and cleaning was going well and all was under control when I noticed a temporary cage with thirteen guineafowl in it that where being held for a friend of Pam's. The guineafowl where out of water and food so I wanted to take care of them. I opened the front of the cage and the guineafowl all huddled in the corner together as I spoke to them softly I put down their food bowl closed the door and thought I had latched it. I then went to grab their water bottle to fill it and out of the corner of my eye I saw the group of guineafowl rushing out of their temporary cage into the farm all chattering while running around i could not believe it the GUINEA'S ARE ON THE LOOSE. I went and got Pam right away to help she could tell I was upset with myself and a little embarrassed but she came right out and laughed and said do not worry we will get them and reassured me she was not mad and she told me that's life on the farm. Well anyways the comedy show had just begun as Pam and I ran around trying to catch and herd them. The guineafowl all started to fly up to the roof of the bunkhouse as well as into the tree in the middle of the farm. Within moments the whole group was perching either in the tree or the roof of the bunkhouse. Pam decided to let the guineafowl calm down for awhile so she put food in a cage with the door open and went inside to have a cup of coffee she told me they would start to come down as the day went on. I went ahead and finished my work for the day and when i left the guineafowl had come down from the tree and bunkhouse roof and where out in the field next to the barn this was a good sign. So check back soon to find out how the guineafowl saga ends and see what the City Boy on the Farm is doing and learning.
