Guineas and Plants

[kakhan]

Hi,
My wife have grown many plants and am not sure if they will be damaged if i keep a pair of Guinea Fowl.What you guys say...may i sacrifice my love for Guinea for the love of my better half

Guineas don't do a lot of damage to larger established plants. However, Guineas will dig in dirt to take dustbaths and naps and if you plants are in the way, well, they don't know the difference. Also, there are some plants that I just can't have around my Guineas, like Peas and cabbage and brussle sprouts, they stripped them to the ground. .. If you don't want the Guineas someplace, then you need to fence them out (bird netting works). But (2) guineas is not going to cause much damage. I have 11 adults and over 40 keets at the moment.
