Yep! Guineas are a strange bird but they eat about 1,000 ticks a day! They are really good at protecting your flock and alerting danger (because they are so loud). They also have really pretty feathers and are super stupid.Some of the bad things about guineas is that they are mean. Don't try to hold them because they have very sharp claws. They also probably will run away into the woods and most likely never come back, unless they are raised with chickens! They are said to lay 90-130 small eggs a year, tasting like chicken eggs.
The chickens are good pets, not nearly as loud as the guineas and much better egg layers. We have 8 Rhode Island Reds, one mysterious rooster, one Sebright and 3 adorable little bantams!
We have only named a couple of each so far, here are their names!
The rooster is named Chicken Licken 😄
One little bantam is Kesteral
The Sebright is Quail
And the guineas are... Luigi, Clem (guess which popular video game Clem is found in)!
Hope you enjoyed!
What ugly birds the guinea hens are!
