When I did chores this morning I found 4 of my 7 Guineas dead. One had its head missing and the other 3 showed no signs of being eaten. Does anyone know if Guineas can die from being frightened to death?

Sorry to hear you have lost some fowl. We've had some die in the past from a dog attack, and they didn't appear to be eaten. Not sure if it was fright, or if they got trampled or injured in some way during the attack, but they seem pretty sensitive to predator attack, I guess their ability to fly is what they have to save them, and they can't always fly away.
