I'm from NE Texas. I don't have any animals. It was recommended by a friend that I needed to get some guineas. I haven't a clue how to get started. I found this site, so I thought I would give it a try.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens! We are glad you joined the flock! BYC is a helpful site providing all the information you need to know about poultry! There is always space for more members on the BYC roost! Guineas are well known for keeping down the tick population. Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!

Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us.

On this link you'll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping birds - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archives

This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3 I’d suggest including your location using the guide in that link, if you have not already done so. You can use this link to contact members in your area - Find your State's thread.

Best wishes

Pork Pie

Welcome to BYC! I'm sure you'll enjoy guineas, is there any reason in particular that you want them? I don't own guineas, but I'm sure that some peeps who do will be able to answer all of your questions!

Theyre good for tics and bugs, they are some of the craziest and most skittish bird Ive been around haha. Welcome

I've heard guineas are pretty good guard birds. They'll alert you if anyone comes around!
You could try reading some posts to see what others have to say about them in the guinea fowl section or even start another thread over there to ask specific questions.
Good luck with your information quest!
