That’s what I thought, but they were very insistent roosters would be fine with everyone! Unless I get one by mistake in the chicks, I won’t be getting any intentionally.

They probably want to find homes for all those roosters. You are better off paying extra for sexed pullets. Roosters can be a challenge.That’s what I thought, but they were very insistent roosters would be fine with everyone! Unless I get one by mistake in the chicks, I won’t be getting any intentionally.
That’s too funny- I’m with you in that!They probably want to find homes for all those roosters. You are better off paying extra for sexed pullets. Roosters can be a challenge.
Interesting- so you had no trouble with predation when they slept in the trees? And no problems between them and your chickens?Sounds like you have a solid plan. Opossums eat tons of ticks too so it might be worth figuring out your chickens' turnout schedule to work around opossum foraging times. I'm surprised that apparently I had a somewhat unusual experience with Guinea fowl. The first time we got fowl I ordered 12 Easter Eggers and 12 guineas. They were fine together, but tended to stick with their same-species groups. Our run was uncovered and the guineas would come and go but didn't always sleep inside. They often roosted in trees but they flew well and survived just fine. They didn't bother us at all except when they wanted to roost in the rafters of the horse barn, where I didn't want their poop. This time we have close neighbors and don't know them all yet so I haven't (so far) ordered any guineas, but I would/will if I'm sure they won't bother the neighbors.
