I have just had to move back to Powell Missouri onto my 15 acres just 30 minutes from the Bentonville/ Rogers Arkansas area. And i am overwhelmed with ticks already this year. I have a small flock of 4 working on it but there is only so much they can do and I would gladly take in any unwanted chickens (including roosters) and guineas from the southwest Missouri/ northwest Arkansas area to help control the issue and help feed me and the boy with eggs. The birds will not be eaten unless they attack me or my son, as long as they do there job of eating bugs they will be welcome to stay here and do there thing until they naturally pass.
