Hello! I have just joined. I found this site when I googled "guinea fowl" to research this creature. We have Lymes and other similar disease in our home and the yard/woods are full of ticks…so we hope to start a bevy of gf this spring. We have no chickens in our yard, though our neighbor has chickens a distance away…we all live on the same property in NH. So, wonder if we should have a couple of chickens as well as guinea fowl? Where in NH can we find GF and so many other questions! I look forward to researching and picking your brains!

Welcome BYC!

Guineas love insects. Great that you are looking for information to get started.

Best place to ask about the Guineas, would be over here...https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/45/guinea-fowl
They will help you get the egg rolling.

Alright and

glad to have you onboard with us

Ticks you say oh they are such a delicacy

Yum, yum, ticks good stuff

These critters will go to town on bugs and you might want to keep an
eye on them as they tend to wonder as their search for bugs will take
them anywhere and everywhere

But the bug problem in my yard
disappeared in less then a week after getting these guys but then my
yard is only 400 yards long by 180 feet deep so there really isn't a lot
of ground for them
