I just sold / processed 318 guines and i can tell you it is much quieter with just 100.

I can imagine it would be! How on earth did you end up with so many!?

Here is a link to a video of a few of my guineas being "quiet"..

Guineas let me know when there's a disturbance in the Force, lol. My daughter asked if she could re-home mine when she lived with me and was working nights. I kept mine in a tractor, since I live right on a state highway and didn't want squished guineas. Being confined made them even louder. I had one female that I was sure breathed through her ears so she could " buckwheat " ALL day.

Now DD has her own house, and we bought a farm back off a gravel road. I bought 10 keets that I'm raising with chicks. They are already at the farm. ( we move in August)

I got the guineas for tick control and DH is mostly deaf, so I won't get any complaints this time.

I have a bantam roo up at the farm too. He doesn't attack people, but tries to kill my BEI drakes if he can get to them. I can hardly wait for my new keets to grow up and give him an attitude adjustment, because they will.

point well taken. Guess they'll have to wait for the country life along with the goats and turkeys!

DUH! I just noticed that you were in the Little Flower parish. So, you're right "in" town, then. Is Indy allowing chickens these days? Years ago, when I lived in Indy, a few people kept chooks on the down-low. I can see why you'd want to keep your neighbor from complaining.
