New to BYC from Missouri raising Guineas

[Guineaforus]

I am hooked on some of the threads I've been reading on here, and found some awesome ideas of feeders and waters. Reason we have selected guineas is we live on 10 acres adjoined to family and we have a ton of cedar trees that house TICKS. We are looking for suggestions on how to help start a Guinea flock. If anyone has some pointers I would love to hear of them.
Thanks

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I have heard they are great for tick problems. I hope they solve this issue.

Enjoy your guineas and welcome to our flock!

All I know about guineas is they are supposed to be the best tick eaters, and they make a great alarm system when anything surprises them. I know the guinea threads and people will be able to answer your questions . Welcome to byc
