I have just become a member with backyard chickens! I am so glad to be a member. I live in NY which is a very urban state with few farms. Though this is an urban area I am still going to raise white homing pigeons soon and Coturnix quail. I hope that you will not mind me asking questions. Most of you, will most likely consider me a newbie but I actually know quite a few things about birds and specific care. However, I can always use a few tips from you guys. I love to plan for the future, so with that being said I would be most appreciative if you guys can clue me in on some tips for raising Chickens and Guinea fowl in the forums section. I know how useful chickens and guineas can be. However, I do not know anybody that currently raises gray pearl guineas. Therefore, I would like to know if raising Guinea fowl would be recommended in an urban area. I have heard that they are like watchdogs and occasionally may crow. I do not wish to disturb the neighbors in any shape,way or form. Thank you for your time. I look forward to having numerous conversations with you guys.
from Ohio. So glad you joined. 
I live in NY as well and will say that NY is not very urban with very few farms. There are TONS of farms in New York and a great amount of New York is very rural.
