  • The guineas are called over to investigate a chicken-snake. The guineas put some pressure on the snake to get out of their territory. (They have a nest nearby full of eggs.) The snake was not harmed; No eggs were stolen from the guinea nest. Good job, guineas!

    We had guineas on our farm what I was a kid. It wasn't unusual to see them out in the fields sometimes over a mile away but they always came back in the evening to roost in the implement shed. Then one year the flock slowly started to thin out until there were no more. We think hawks or coyotes killed them all.

    • @_s827
      @_s827 Před 3 lety +5

      yeah, my own experience is that you have to have a flock big enough that it withstands the attrition. They might have good eyesight and be able to fly high up into trees, but predators still get them pretty easily if there aren't enough of them to keep up the population.

But they sure get loud for other random non-threatening occurrences

    • @theriverschool822

      They did an amazing job at keeping the ticks away. We lost the last guinea 3 years ago, the the tick count finally started going back to normal last summer. I need to get some more. They also survived in the wild without any care for about 8 years and raised their own babies, until wild pigs came into the area and made ground nesting impossible. We only bought baby guineas once and got 8 years of tick protection.

      They could like chickens could, but they tend to eat small bugs and grass seeds.

We hardly have any near our house and our livestock have less fleas since we added guineas. I think they make the goats have less worms too, by eating the worms in their larval state. I love guineas. The wild pig have just found our area are making it hard to nest on the ground anymore.
