So after 4 months the guinea disappeared one day. They just weren't at the coop that night. I told Johnathon to find them the next day after school, he looked and couldn't find them. That night I received a couple texts from the neighbor saying the birds were by the road and he was trying to herd them back to safety. He offered to catch them until I came, I said no and went out to look for them. We looked for 40 minutes in the dark but never saw or heard any of them.
A few days went by where we were looking everywhere for the birds. Then I asked a friend of mine that was going to the barn to see if our birds were there. Sure enough the neighbors had caged the birds and never told us. We went over that day during a big rain storm and got them back. They'd been in a 10 x 10 dog kennel with about 40 chickens.
We put them in our kennel and closed the top so they couldn't fly out.
A few hours later we saw a couple eggs on the ground. They're laying eggs now.
Two days later, they were gone again. Somehow they had gotten out of the roof.
We hoped they'd come home that night, but like before, the neighbor caught them and caged them that same day and we only found out when Johnathon went snooping around.
A few days later JOhnathon went over and got them back. There were only 5 there, 2 are missing.
He put them back in our kennel and we sealed off the roof so they can't get out.
It's been about 2 weeks now and we still don't know what happen to the 2 missing birds. The ones we have are laying eggs but not as often so we think the two that went missing were females. They're still trapped in the coop because I'm worried if we let them out they'll go near the neighbor's barn again and he will cage them up.
