    do guinees eat stink bugs?

    That smell... If the guineas give us squash without squashing an endless army of stinky bugs and tearing holes in leaves trying to get that last egg in the vein margin and end this loosing battle I will build them a castle, that they can choose not to live in if they so desire.
