You Mean They FLY!?

Here is evidence that I never grew up on a farm and until a year ago never
held a chicken. Tonight a shipment came in from Arkansas of a variety of
chickens with 2 French Guinea Fowl. As we worked on unloading the chickens
and getting everyone settled in, the 2 Guineas FLEW into the trees!

Note to self - these things FLY!

After diligently climbing 25 feet into a tree and getting just close enough
to touch the tail end of one of the birds, they are now spending the night
in the trees. Does anyone have a suggestion on getting them back? When (and
if) I get them, can I clip their wings like I do our cockatiel?

This can only bring to mind the classic episode of WKRP when Herb Tarlic
dropped live turkeys from a helicopter on Thanksgiving because he thought
they could fly.

Thanks for any advice.

Jim
