Default guinew hens in yard?

Howdy folks,
In my neighborhood there have been a number of Guinea Hens, kept
by a home owner who allows them to run freely in his yard. They stick
close to the front yard but do wander around in the street, but having
watched them for years they seem to have no problem avoiding traffic,
and I quite enjoy seeing them puttering around. ( I wouldn't try it on
a busy
street though ) I was going to post the location if people wanted to
take a look but I didn't know if this was a legal animal thing in the
city limits.
I had a neighbor who used to walk a pig on a leash in the
neighborhood and then got into trouble.
I certainly enjoyed them and they seem to do a better job of staying
out of the way of cars then the other birds and squirrels I'm always
avoiding.

take care,
Steve Coyle
