Tomato eaters

[michael94]

I have 6 guineas and 1 duck running loose in my tomato garden, but I am finding ripe and green tomatos that are close to the ground half eaten whole. anybody got any ideas what it could be?

Guineas???... sparrows, doves, pigeons.... or other local birds.

I'm new to the chicken game but am familiar with your problem. I'll bet it's a terrapin or small turtle. I've seen it before in my neck of the woods (Central N.C.). You'll need some sort of barrier.

Squirrels is my guess.

Sounds like Red squirrels.

My chickens will eat anything they can reach, esp the tomatoes leaves, tomatoes, squash, squash blooms squash leaves, if its green its gone marrie

The guinea, or my chickens have found their way to your garden.

My chickens ruined my garden last year.
I would say the guinea is cleaning the insects out of the garden and some veggies too.
