    ROCHESTER - A very strange sight can be seen at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Sausaman who lives 7-1/2 miles northeast of Rochester where a guinea rooster is caring for 12 half-grown guineas. A large hawk attacked the flock of young guineas and their mother gave battle to the large bird. In the battle she was assisted by the guinea rooster. In the battle however, the mother guinea lost her life. Since that time the guinea rooster has been caring for the brood of young guineas.
