My mom got guineas after coming to visit us and falling in love with ours. She like the idea of letting them free range to eat the ticks, like we do. She told me recently she only let the guineas free range if the dogs were inside since she has a confirmed chicken eater. I told her it was only matter of time. It's not like my mom lives alone. Either the dog is going to get out by mistake or someone will forget.There are a few posts where people have written that they never let their dog have access to thhe chickens. One day someone will forget. It's almost inevitable.
