guineas

I went out on the porch and Sammy had the 2  neighbor boys catching guineas. they had caught 11 and threw them out of the pen, The  guineas were scared to death and the ones they caught and threw out of the pen were gone to parts unknown.
 We managed after 24 hours to get back most of them. I think we have about 20 where I believe we had 29. I just don't understand why Sam didn't realize how bad the guineas were going to be scared.
The neighbor boys will stay away from the guineas henceforth .
