Lets say i want to add guinea fowl straight run....

and I have chickens, ducks, cows, and goats all free ranging with them. what is the minimum amount I need so that I have a diverse enough flock that they don't attack the roos?

Depends on how much land you have... 12 is a decent size flock, but if you have plenty of room, a few extra won't hurt. I never sell less than 6 keets per sale, but I always encourage more because Guineas do better in flocks. I just sold 30 keets the other day to a guy that lives on 100 acres... I told him he needed more, lol

2.5 acres I want all the bugs and snakes gone!

You should have at least 10 so they do not fight with other birds in your flock. Once you have the 10 you will want more! I have 32 guinea eggs in a brooder and hope they all hatch out. They do a great job at eating ticks and stink bugs.
