- When you are thinking about chickens make sure to consider Guinea fowl. They are super at getting tics, snakes, mice, beetles and all the bugs that ruin your garden. They are great watch dogs as well, yep I said it...watchdogs. They are called the Farmers watchdog becuase they do not like strangers! Hope you enjoy the video and share it with friends!

About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies. - Zábava

THANKS FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING
I have a big tick problem on 3 acre property. Do you know how many can kill off ticks on an acre in one summer? Thank you for inspiring us.
@@Cynthia-sm5uj try 3 or 4 and keep the grass short
How do people git genies to be friendly to a rooster cus my genies Keep attacking my rooster
Can you point me to videos on guineas and how you kept them in winter? I didnt see anything in playlist & you have so many videos to look through!
Beautiful ginnie
Your chicken coop is nicer than some people’s houses.
True
🤣
Was that a cat coming out of the chicken house window?
Yeah, I was impressed, and will be going that route myself.
Yeah, mine
It cracked me up watching the chickens and guineas coming out of the coop. One rooster slid down and the whole scene was like watching clown after clown pile out of a volkswagon. Great stuff!
Yes, 🤣
Hollyhock 😂 LMAO. I had the exact same thought. “Clowns out of a Volkswagon” 🤡🚗
Hollyhock I was thinking the same thing! How many chickens are there?
That should be overdubbed with "Yakkety Sax."
Great chicken coop looks wonderful live from Australia
Loved the video! Their calls are the only way I can tell the male from the female. My females seem to say "Look out-look out!" A couple years ago I watched a coyote come into my yard. My 9 guineas formed a circle around it, they took turns rushing toward the coyote-always maintaining the circle. A couple minutes of this onslaught & the coyote ran for its life! 🙂 I've never seen anything like it! Love my guineas!!
That's cool. What state are you in
@@mr.bigtomsawyer2075 im in Pa.
A farm I worked at had guineas. One day a stray dog came to one of the gates. He was met by the guinea welcome committee.
They all mounted the fence and gate and surrounded him. It was like something out of Mad Max. He didn't hang out long...
That’s awesome good on them
Peacocks do the same thing...watched them surround a fox before...he took off!
I keep and breed them in different colors , the best birds on this planet . greetings from a Belgium guy , living off grid in Romania.
Are they edible?
@@rosalindagarcia3553 yes
@@rosalindagarcia3553 their eggs are very thick and hard...they say hikers, mountain climbers pack them in backpacks for a meal, cause harder to break
Unfortunately these birds are also very skittish, but... If you have enough land around you where they can roam, it's is no problem at all.
But if you like chicken better!!!
Look at the breed Marans.
Their eggs are stunning brown, like chocolate, and they have also a very thick scale which makes them also hard to break.
(It is also the only breed that has an approved certificate from the French government which say;,, guaranteed salmonella free")
This is because of the thicker flees inside the egg.
Hi, Erwin I would love to visit Romania and learn from them on many things can we get in touch as I am Congolese and know a little bit of Belgium so you can advise me in my project since over there you are living off grid. Thank you.
Is it just me or was anyone else amazed at how many birds came out of that coop / shed?
me too I thought the place was too small for them all---since my coop is the taj-mahal
LOL, I thought the same thing.
Packed like sardines. Lol
Could just be you.
Yup
Knuckles didn’t let getting de-feeted defeat her! That’s One Awesome Bird!
I also love them and most of my neighbors enjoyed their visits. I'm semi rural. One of my neighbors hated them. Unlike chickens, they don't stay on your property. I'm on 6 acres and one of my neighbors several properties up called animal control, and they told me I had to contain them on my property - impossible unless I kept them caged. Due to the daily fine imposed on me, I had to harvest them. The good news is that they are delicious. Well guineas are gone -- fleas and ticks are back. That neighbor moved, I think I'll get some more!
Just say they aren't yours! They are free entities 😎
@@KARENboomboomROXX . God created, so they belong ta Jesus. HA.HA.HA.HA.HA
I just bought 10 acres with nothing on it. Every time I go there to work in my garden the neighbor's guineas are there and try to run me off. I have a fence around my garden and I laid straw down for mulch and they got into my garden and made a nest out of the straw. I'm glad to learn they don't bother the vegies. I don't mind them at all now that I know they won't eat my garden.
Heard if you raise them with chickens they'll stick to your property, not sure how true that is.
@@alexscott6095 Hi Alex, mine were and they didn't stick to the property - unfortunately
I watch your videos and think, "what a wonderful way to live. I'd love to live like that." Especially now in this weirdness we're immersed in, I can look in on your sweet farm days and find some rest in knowing there are good people like you who are living a good life-- sweet and smart and clean and fresh on the farm-- no masks on! and even sharing great information with us in case we get a chance to do the same. Thanks, Doug and Stacy, and best wishes always.
Agreed! One of my favourite places to visit on the “tube”❤️
That's kind of awesome how the bird pulled through!!! I live with a spinal cord injury due to 2 surgeries and had to learn to walk again. You said it right... The strong will survive! That has been a big part of what brought me to wanting to homestead
Way to go❣️👍💞
Our guineas dont brood on their eggs. They just lay wherever, so we gather and eat their eggs! The eggs have a very hard shell compared to chicken eggs! I love my guineas also! Such cool, comical, entertaining birds! Sometimes they end up on top of the house just a chattering away!
When I visited South Africa in 2006 I saw wild Guinea Fowl running around and even crossing the road occasionally. I have always loved Guineas
My grandparents I had a farm in Georgia, they had about fifty guineas that ran wild in the woods. Yes they did roost in the trees .I saw Guineas run foxes off. They would make a formation and make lots of noise and they all run at the foxes run them off and if they found a rattlesnake they would make a lot of noise some you could find the snake.
We have guineas too. I love them. Like you said, they are constant foragers. They are constantly walking and eating bugs and weeds. I kept mine in a chicken coop by themselves for about 4 weeks. They come back every evening. I do keep some high protein laying pellets out for them all the time. I think the wattles are bigger on the Male too, the things under his neck right? Our male guinea actually chased off a big dog one time. I couldn't believe it.
Chicken ramp needs some non skid strips☺️
We didn't know about Guenias before watching your channel. As soon as we moved to our place in Southwest Missouri we got chickens and Guenias. I love them both but I must admit the Guenias are my favorite too. When we first moved we had lots of copperheads we have not seen one yet this year. I believe a very beneficial farm animal!
"Hey Ya'll!" from one Southern Homestead neighbor to another! Big Shout Out from WEST TENNESSEE!
Watch out for that TREEEEE! lol thanks guys!
OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY LOL We Love You Guys!!! We are small and just starting but hey you gotta start somewhere! If you guys get bored check us out! Any help or suggestions especially from you guys would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks for all your knowledge and info!
9:57 - I love how your dog looked at the camera like, "Are you filming again?"
Maybe I'm odd but I miss the noise of a flock of guineas. We had a neighbor when I was a kid that had a flock of guineas that would range over his land, down to our place, and across the lane was a small apple orchard. A few homestead channels have guineas and their hen's 'chant' reminds me of much better times of my youth.
Pretty cool how Knuckles adapted.
Awww. That’s great that she knuckled her way back. I love all those noises. 😊❤️👌🏽🥰
We had guineas when I was little and daddy built a long wired run cage with a wired dome top and he planted grapevine around it. We kids would go in there with the guineas and play and hide. It was shady and the guineas loved the grapes. Our guineas look just like yours. One if my many stored memories.
I love this!
Me too. 💞
Being from Africa, I am very familiar with them and they are all over the place here. They are also very tasty in pie :-D
That was going to be my question. If they taste good and the best way to prepare them. Lol thanks
@@roxanne332 the best way to eat them is fresh and their little hearts will tickle your mouth if you eat them quickly enough.
@@saltykraken9471 LIAR!
@@roxanne332 look up PINTADE for french recipes, and FARAONA for italian ones.
This was so fun to watch. You guys rock the homesteading life!
Your clothes, style, place and everything else looks legendary. It's like I'm watching Hobbit movie.
Enjoy!
I love watching you guys. Always something new. Makes me miss Missouri
That sign on the coop... "Farm Fresh Butt Nuggets". Lmaoooooo! :D
Spent a couple weeks with my grandparents in the summer, they had guinnes & I loved the sound they made. Also their eggs are small & unique!
I'm definitely getting Guinea Fowl for my homestead when I finally get to build it.
Go you! I'm mentally planning for the same.
Thanks Doug and Stacy ❤️even your doggie casually walks by and smiles for the camera 💕😍❤️loving your videos!
I just got my first guinea keets yesterday to help with our tick problem in Minnesota. This video was perfect timing! I really enjoy all the information you share.
I just ordered my first T-shirt. I just love Y’all! Shalom. 🙏🏻
thanks love all your videos, was raised with Guineas good memories God Bless
I was listening for something without realizing it, but the "bingo!" happened when you said you decided to LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE! That bit of wisdom was worth the price of admission. "But wait--there's more--" and then you told about all the great benefits they bring to a farm, which were impressive. I've come to love you guys and I'm so excited to see the building you're going to wrap and finish off! Sincere good luck and blessings!💖 Sue
This is some great information. I've seen other channels say they are too loud and never would hang out with the chickens then went to the neighbors' yard.
Ive heard that too
Wonderful they had some great points
You know what though I will never stop having guineas or chickens ever in my life... they have been a Timeless wonder and and caregiving to us and letting us know when predators are around or other people give us eggs everyday... that's how I answered that because there a benefit like as you say.... Guinea eggs are really good if you make an omelet out of them... if you boil them I take the eggs to work with me...
I was thinking,... The noise from all of your birds, as you released them, would make a great alarm sound for Android smartphones with alarm clock apps on them! 😁
What a beautiful house you made for your birds ! Your birds are so happy !
Hi Doug. still here watching.
Can ya’all read minds or something? I was just talking with my mom today about how I’d love some guinea fowl because they like to eat ticks. My dogs would appreciate the service, lol.
Sent my mom the link to your video.
Keep up the good work, and take care ✌️
I always learn new things when I watch you guys. Thanks Doug & Stacy!
Agreed. Love where you guys are sitting. Very cool!
Very interesting guinea hen podcast. The only guineas I "knew" growing up were the ones which no one paid much attention to, and they lived in the trees at night, as you described. Just thought of them as "watch dogs." Didn't know anyone included them in cuisine until I was served guinea on an overseas flight. Tasted very good but I was fascinated because I was eating guinea hen!
Knuckles is a cutie. Thanks for the updates on having guiennes. Looking forward to the learning center updates.
my grandparents had them here in fla on their farm when I was a kid , they were awesome
THANK YOU GUYS,,YOU LOOKING GREAT.STAY WELL
You 2 are super cool. I absolutely loved listening to both of you. Thank you so much for sharing.
Long ago I remember the neighbors guineas sounding off. They are cool. Good info. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and healthy
My husband and I were just talking about them. I had no idea they were so beneficial. Great video!
The keeper looks like a magical being
👍 Doug & Steve you guys look great!
We just got some guinea this morning. I’m glad you mentioned they have weak feet, thanks.
That hen House is like a clown car they just keep coming and coming
Love watching you guy's. My aunt had Guinea's she always said they make the best watch dogs.
that is the most adorable chicken coop I have ever laid my eyes on!
Loved the video! Great information. Now, I know why you love them so much. Thank you.
Wow it is amazing that your birds will go in the coop at night. Thanks for the great instructions for their training. Hugs ❤️
I loved the interpetation of the guinea that Doug gace us.
I've heard so much about these!!!! They're the best bird for bugs! I need about 30 lol
Knuckles - perfect name! I used to have a hen that had gotten a broken leg and her leg fell off. I named her Peg and she got around pretty good. She was friendly and would jump into my lap.
Thanks you for sharing your daily real life.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the guineas. ☝👉...
Excellent excellent excellent educational videos
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and suggestions.
💚💚💚 Guineas! Great entertainers and alarmists, too!
Such a nice couple yes very nice
Thanks for all the great info! We thought about getting some for our small homestead.
after this video im headed to pet store to get guineas... my mom had some years ago that was not hers but hung around her yard and my brother and his new wife came over and she asked what do those taste like . my mom told her oh those are not to eat we just keep them around to bark
They are delicious!
Stacy very interesting about the guinea. Thank you for sharing. Takecare Judy
Lots of great information. I love guineas too! Just hatched 12, 16 more on they way!!
your so cute Stacy! Smart and I learn so much!
Awesome Tips! Thanks for sharing about this. Can’t wait to see the LEARNING CENTER finished. And I’m still waiting on a tour of that root cellar!
This is the video that convince my hubby we need guineas. Every time hubby questioned "how to", I always started off with "Doug and Stacy said...so that's how I'm doing it. This cold/snow they were the gate keepers of the barn concerning what types of birds they let in to find shelter from the weather. So fascinating and fun to watch.
I love my Guineas. I have 22 eggs in the incubator right now.
I never knew all that good information about genies. Thanks!
Knuckles LOL! What a perfect name! They are cute!😁
Great info on guineas. I never knew all that. Thanks. 💖
I LOL'ed when you said you lost a Guinea do to rock throwing lawnmower. 🤣
Geese are great watchdogs too....I just arrived on your farm from Australia! GOD Bless us all!
What great information on the guineas, and can't wait to see the babies coming on the farm. Doug you got the wife look! *lol*
That is just the cutest chicken coop!😊😊
Love the Idea of using them to keep the garden bug free. ❤
Can't wait to get some once we're done building our homestead!
Chickens & Guinea, swishy the eggs the time has kids. Enjoy together mama chicken, flyaway
Lol cat jumps out window😂❤
I like the simple life! I love the salad dressing recipe. Didn’t know you could eat the dandelion flowers too!
My parents had chickens and turkeys growing up on the farm. No guineas. The turkeys were on guard duty. I do remember a neighbor a mile or so down the road having a few. The ability to get rid of ticks and garden pests with guineas is great. Very informative. Loved it!!
Excellent video and thank you for sharing!!
Love my guineas to ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting. They are worth the effort.
🐂👍
You have the MOST BEAUTIFUL hen house I have ever seen in my life. Kudos!
I love all critters. Great video. Wish I had more land
How cool love those chickens and knuckles how wonderful that she survived
Love your channel you guys are awesome
Nice charismatic couple )
We love Knuckles! We once had a hen that had something wrong with one of her legs so she used her wing for balance and she got around fine. She stayed here for a long time. Riley use to say she had Cerebral Palsy like him. We were sad when her time came to an end here. ( NOT derogatory or offensive comment, you have to know our family to understand).
Great video! Thanks for sharing, we will be getting chickens soon and this was really helpful for us with protection on our property from pests and strangers. Thanks guys! Love you both!
I only love nature ,the more I know people the more I love animals.
I love it! Chickens and thief house and chicken door!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for all this information!
you guys are a fricking inspiration! leaving the "real world" to follow your passions??? I followed in your footsteps in Illinois, I'm not from here. I bought an old Victorian, restored it and now I'm setting up a mini market garden homestead thing. whenever i feel stressed out about my previous life I watch your videos.
Thank you! Good info.
what a great way to start the day.
