Does anybody have experience hatching and raising guinea fowl? I want to get a decent size flock to patrol around our land to maybe help control bug and tick population? I want to order some assorted eggs or even buy some assorted colors locally but for as long as i can remember my grandma said they are super hard to raise from babies especially the fancy colors ones. I raised three standard ones and only lost one to respiratory infection. So my question is are they similar to raising baby chicks regardless of color or variety? Also will they patrol around several acres and come home at night or just stay in our yard? Thank you!
