This is my 1st year with chickens and I have been loving it. I have 8 pullets and a cockerel and I have been hearing all kinds of good things about Guinea fowl, mostly that they eat ticks. I wanted to find out if they will get along with my other chickens? will they be ok with the rooster?
I really haven't done a lot of research yet so I have so many questions... do they just live in the coop with the chickens? My chickens free range, will the guinea hens be ok free ranging or do they need to be contained? Do they eat the same food as the chickens? do they Lay? can you eat the eggs?
Any other Advice? Any other Benefits to Guinea fowl?
