    guineas and a vegetable/flower garden

    I have ordered the book gardening with guineas but have a question. Do guineas scratch like chickens and will they destroy my vegetable garden's raised beds and mulched flower beds if I let them free range? Our chickens destroyed our mulched beds! thanks Chris

    schaghticoke

    Sure, I went to a tailgate chicken show and got 4 golden comets and a khaki campbell duck. This show is supposed to be bigger. There is no six chick limit as far as I know. The people at the Canaan show were talking about this one and encouraging people to go to it. Chris
