We've been on the fence now for over a year about whether to get chickens and/or guineas to help with our horrible tick problem, and we're ready to finally do something. I know that guineas are much better for tick control, but I'm not sure if they will annoy our neighbors. We only have a 2 acre lot. How many guineas should we consider getting to handle the ticks? I and my three kids all have Lyme disease, and we really need to do something. I'm thinking chickens would be less disruptive and less likely to wander off our property, but I'm not sure if there are certain breeds that are better for eating ticks. ANY help or advice is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you so much!
