      Once upon a time, I got my first poultry. And they were chickens. And I thought, "These birds are just not that bright." Then I got Guinea Fowl, and I thought "holy shit, I found poultry even less able to cope with the world than chickens."

      Friends, these quail. These quail. They walk two steps out from under the brooder plate to the feed dish. They eat. Then they scream because they are facing away from the brooder plate and they're lost and they'll never find it again OH NO

      They go to get a drink or of the waterer and they go around the far side so they can't see the feed dish and the brooder plate and they scream because they are lost forever with no food or warmth OH NO. They make Guinea Fowl look like fucking geniuses, these quail.

      Guinea Fowl used to scream at the rain. That's how weird and not bright they were. They couldn't remember that sometimes water falls from the sky and each time it was new and alarming and terrible.

      You can't turn their light off at night or they get lost and can't find the heater. Does that stop them from wandering away from it? It does not. It is a straight line back to the thing but no, they wind up in sad little piles of shivering baby quail. Screaming.

      Sometimes one gets separated from the others and yells about that until another baby quail comes to see what the noise is about and then the first one is mightily alarmed to see this freakish creature coming towards it and runs away, screaming.

      Replying to @NeolithicSheep

      I think the not-smart fowl I’ve seen are pheasants. They will fly over a fence and then forget they came that way so they’ll just squawk at the fence that they can’t fit through. Or they will stand in the middle of a road and just...not move.
