Should I get Guineas or Pheasents.

[CHlCKEN]

I want to raise guineas or pheasents. The pros of guineas are that they can be free ranged, and will eat the tick and things that are the biggest problem here. They will also pick ya horse manure and such. I like guineas because they are all such an array of different colors.

the cons are that they lay a lot of eggs I don’t know what I would do with them, they’re bigger than pheasents and if I wanted to keep them in a pen some of the time they would require more feed for a large flock. They would probably scare the cat to.

pros of pheasents- they are small so they eat less, don’t lay lots of eggs, can be kept in smaller numbers, and are pretty

cons- they have to be kept in a pen, they can be aggressive, and the cat would probably try to eat them. (shes an outdoor cat)

I don’t know anything about pheasant keeping. What are your goals for keeping these game birds? As for guinea eggs, I will say that they are really delicious!

Guinneas are very loud and like high roosts so unless you have a covered run probably will not be contained and happy. I don't like clipping wings. Sean can help ya on the pheasant front.
