Please try again. I just checked and it is working. I was working on the site a few minutes ago and may have been at the same time you were trying to load it.
We have guineas they are pain when they get in the garden which is a lot if they see ripe fruit on anything like tomato's, pepper's, eggplant's, est they will go down the entire row and peck a hole in every rip tomato in the row so they can be a nuisance when its fruiting season if they get in your garden. But they are still great birds to have and they will kill small snakes and keep them away too I haven't seen one snake in the yard the whole year which is odd so they are doing there job along with the peacocks.
My chickens will eat snakes as well. Guineas, I have found are about the dumbest bird I ever seen. I once had a winter time flood. My entire flock of guineas went head first into the water. The chickens in with them all remained on the roost. I tried them twice, once free range and once in the chicken house. Both times all died. I'll never have guineas again. If I want a hardy guard bird, it would be White Chinese geese. Nothing ever attacked them and anybody they didn't know, they let off loud honking noises.
All Thumbs Up Every Time ! #14 We had Chinese Geese and found they liked the weeds in a garden but not the vege's we wanted so they saved us the backbreaking work of weeding the garden.
They can. If they do not have a good place to sleep at night they will nest in the trees. Mine have always went to bed tho. But I knew people who had them and the birds slept in the trees.
Guinea fowl are indeed from Africa, but they aren’t chickens. They belong to a different zoological family. Chickens are in the family Phasianidae. The domestic chicken is genus Gallus, species domesticus. Guinea fowl belong to the family Numididae. The helmeted guinea fowl, the species farmers usually keep, is genus Numida, species meleagris.
Chickens are bottomless pits I bring them into their home with food after a day of exploring however they destroy all my mulch around my plants I have 4 chickens and 4 guineas which I don’t let out afraid they will wonder off and get killed

Guineas will also kill snakes
My chickens will do the same(Buff Orpingtons, Speckled Sussex and Jersey Giants).

Once our seedlings are stronger I am considering letting the guineas wander through the garden freely. They can take care of the bad bugs for us.
We had guineas when I was kid. My mom would fix me two guinea eggs for breakfast which I thought was extremely cool because they were small.
Hello how many times the Guinea fowl laying in the Yeah thank you 🙏 😊
Just like chickens. One egg per day. Reduced in winter.
Thanks for sharing this
don't chickens also eat ticks?
They do
aw so cool. thx for sharing the birds!! 💕👍🏼👍🏼👋🏼
I knew you would like them
@@TheDoItYourselfWorld It would be great to see the birds more often!

@@someonesprincess3 be nice to see your prizen full inmtes now lol
@@dropedlow33 Lmbo!! 🤗
great content and thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
My guineas love ticks.
I’m convinced they are better than chickens. Huge thanks.
Can they fly enough to get into a tree?
They can. If they do not have a good place to sleep at night they will nest in the trees. Mine have always went to bed tho. But I knew people who had them and the birds slept in the trees.
thanks for this.
I love my guineas!!!!
I just got some chickens ... how many guinea can you keep together ?
I have 11.
How to start? 2or 3 thanks 🙏
I would get at least 3-6. They are herd animals. Love to stick together. Get nervous when separated.
Did you clip their wings?
No, the front yard is fenced in.
Will guineas eat yellow jackets?
Do you need to supplement feed or do they find all of their own feed.
They get all their own food in summer months.
Do they lay as many eggs as chicken ?
Yes
Thanks
So true
If you think you want 20 Guinea get 2.
Don’t be surprised if mothers lose 20 babies over night always have been poor mothers lose babies all over
Nice birds
But can't they fly over the fence?
They can but they wont.

I'm sure I heard you say that your guinea hen attacked you and put you in the hospital but I cannot find it now. Was I dreaming?
It never did happen but it sure can. I may have said something like that. They do not go limp when attacked like a chicken. They fight hard.
they look like walking kfc to me
LOL
One big rooster scares the girls sometimes. I chase him saying "I will eat you". He does not bother me. lol

Chickens are terrible for destroying anything you put in. Plants, mulch, whatever. We got rid of our chickens and are going with all Guineas now.
Guinea meat is darker than chicken meat. It is good. Eggs taste similar. Are those future chicken and turkey meat birds?
I wont be eating any guineas from this bunch. Maybe in the future. The turkeys are meat, yes. The bantams are for pets.
Not eating animals is kinder.
They will eat lots of tics!
Yes, very beneficial
