On the side of 70 today, just after the turn for Mt. Misery, I saw roughly 10 guinea hens all together. Never seen that many together. On occasion I see 1 or 2. Didn't know they could be that social.
Lots o' guinea hens

That's the first sign. Soon, they take flight and attack people living in lonely, windswept locations.
Believe me on this, you can see a couple of dozen of the lousy bastards together easy. I've been there. They are indeed a mixed blessing as I have mentioned in other threads. Good for ticks, bad for sleep, clean yard, and simple sense of sanity!
They are highly!! social & and glad to invite friends once they have found a place they favor. I've had to "thin out" my share over the years.

They love eating ticks, so I hope to see even more of them

I see them a lot by my office and shop in jackson. some one told me once that the state stocks them to eat the ticks.
I'm glad to see they actually are useful. I grew up in the country and the nearest farmer had a bunch of them and their favorite spot to hang out was in the middle of the road.
