I hatched about eighty head this last summer. Couldn't find anyone who wanted any. So I'm still feeding at least sixty five, eating me out of house and home! To bad your not in Ks yet, Bruce. I'd fix you up! They're kinda like sheep, walking around looking for a place to die. Those will prolly get hit by a car, and BOP are terrible hard on them if let loose! But......I like them too!

Yes, birds of prey. Yes they are good eating, I've ate a couple that an owl had knocked out of a tree and ate the head off. Don't like to butcher fowl when it's cold out though.

Friend of mine had some. Said they were the best alarm there was if you had visitors wanted or unwanted.

Started out with 20 this fall. Am down to 7 as of a few min. ago. Had a bit of a problem with a dog and BOP. Dog doesn't like guinea any more.

Me too! I had about 40 at one time. I wish I could find some keets again but no one around here has any.


I have nothing clever to put here.

nope, we had no less ticks when we had 15 guineas than when all those loud, pesty, poop machines, were finally gone.

I'd rather spread cheap tick/flea granules every spring than have to hear those things ever again.
