    My Granny had Guineas and she would say, 'wanna see the Guineas get upset? I'd say yep siree and she'd go put on her blue with white polka dot dress on and stand in the window ... The Guineas would pitch a fit and Granny would laugh then go take her dress off and put on her work clothes... Ahhh The Mountains of WVA was my home growing up... :) .

      My WV granny had guineas also and I hated to hear them hollering which my granny called “pot rackin” but now that I’m older and fighting a tick infestation I’m ready to get guineas on the farm for pest control their noise will be a small price to pay for the job they do

    I had a Guinea show up at my home a year ago. I love her. She sets off a loud alarm like screech when she sees a snake. She recently chased off a solicitor that came in my yard. It was hilarious!! The best watch dog anyone could have. 😃

    Hey Stivers! I'm still laughing about that chicken surprising Jenn like that! Oh man, the look on her face was priceless! I must say, Jenn, you handled it a whole lot better than I would have. But hey, you guys, thanks for the lesson on guineas. A lot of that stuff I did not know. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for letting us "see it one more time!!" God bless you, Stivers!

Jenn I absolutely love how gentle you are & how you are always smiling, always full of joy & light. Zac, I like how you can make your audience feel like we’re right there at the homestead with you guys. I absolutely can’t wait until we move next year, guineas will for sure be on our homestead. I’ve always wanted some.

    @vmorganbogart Před 5 lety +14

    I was watching this video while eating dinner. When Becky jumped on Jen’s shoulder, I almost spit my food out. Then Becky started pecking at the top of Jen’s head. I almost lost it. Zack just kept on going like it was an everyday occurrence. Y’all are always fun to watch, but this one takes the cake. It was very informative though, so you did accomplish the goal of the video. It just had bonus moments! Love & Hugs from Ft. Worth, Texas

    @amosfarmstead Před 5 lety +29

    We have four guineas and enjoy their unique personalities. Ours are pretty loud (you hear them a lot in our videos) but I think it’s cool and makes the farm sound come alive since we don’t currently have a rooster.
    Jenn and the chicken could definitely make it on America’s Funniest Videos 😂

    • @NicoleEivissa
      @NicoleEivissa Před 10 měsíci

      I do think they’re comparable with how ducks/geese sounds, yet it’s more like a mix with a crow:D Just the typical ZOO sounds, I love them haha!:D

  • @garyb4929
    @garyb4929 Před 5 lety +4

    Great piece about guineas. We had gotten handful from neighboring rancher, way back in 80s, but they were grown. They would roost in huge oak by barn . But after couple weeks, they decided to go back home & we never tried again. So, i like your advice & stories about them. Thanks for sharing

  • @susiecausey4490
    @susiecausey4490 Před 5 lety +1

    Your videos are so fun! Chicken on shoulder, goat biting legs, and goat jumping on you back. My husband and I use to raise white guinies, and the most beautiful thing I have ever seen is when they have their little white fluffy babies, they would look like little snowballs with feet walking behind them. Yes guinie makes a great guinie bog (guinie and rice). Thats what we call it in South Carolina. We also say: that it sounds like the guinies are always saying "Don't Crank, Don't Crank", especially when you are trying to start your car and it won't crank. Lol Tfs

    • @StiversHomestead
      @StiversHomestead  Před 5 lety

      Haha that’s such an accurate comparison! I bet guinea bob is fantastic! We’ve had chicken bob (North Carolina) so I can just imagine Guinea being even better!

    I'll have to show how I do my guineas. 😉 I have 17 guineas, not fully mature just yet, but they are all free ranging now, only getting fed at night in their coop where I lock them up at night. I didn't want guineas, but I didn't want ticks more. With 35+ acres for them to roam, they are not a problem.

    Just found your channel. I am so glad you made this video. I visited a friend who had guineas and thought I could never get them because of the constant noise. Now I realize it was because I was there. Good to know to raise them with the chickens. A fat healthy hen could probably hatch them too. You all are a joy to watch.

    Ahhhahahaha...Too funny how you replayed the chicken flying up & landing on your shoulder, Jenn...& you both just take it in stride. And then getting nibbled on by the goats, & then Becky pecking at your head! Too funny! You two are a hoot! Both always so happy!
    Loved hearing about Guinnea Hens, but then kept wondering why you weren't showing them.!!!!!
    You're so used to seeing them, you don't realize - most of us have never even seen one up close!
    Then loved that you added in the chicken landing & you reacting, in repeat mode, at the end!
    Had two good laughs over that, but have to go research those hens to see what they look like! Lol.
    You two really enjoy each other, & are making a good life for each other & your kids! I mean the human ones!
    Loved seeing a bit of the new white goats you got from Jess & Miah too! Hope to see more vid of them & the other goats up close, while they're still kinda small, before they're all grown up. They're growing so fast! Seems just a few weeks ago, watched Jess bottle feeding them!
