    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 3 года назад +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.

      The best reason is they eat the fleas and ticks in the area. They eat some of the invasive bugs, like Japanese beetles, which leaves us more raspberries in the fall. I'm not sure they really are great at snake deterrence, but better than our chickens who do nothing.

      They could like chickens could, but they tend to eat small bugs and grass seeds. They love to eat ticks and fleas or follow me when I cut the grass to eat the little bugs and tiny grasshoppers that just out. They are excellent for tick control. 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.

    • @theriverschool822
      @theriverschool822  8 лет назад +8

      They make different noises, but I never use that. I just know by which ones lay eggs. Our guineas sleep in the top of our peach tree at night, feed themselves in the summer, but fed some oats in the winter. They raise their own young without any interference from us. We get to enjoy less bad bugs (flea/tick/worm larva/june bugs/Japanese beetles. ) I can't imagine our farm without them.

      Our guineas aren't that friendly. We did have a wave of predators in the fall, eagle, horned owl, and fox. We are down to just 2 adults guineas. These have been living independent raising their own for 5 years now, with just an occasional feeding. I was worried they were going to go extinct, but I think they have a nest now. So, there's hope. We had 11 adults in the fall.

Haven’t seen them eat a bug even when throwing crippled crickets and grasshoppers in front of them and strangers regularly show up and I never hear a peep. But they sure get loud for other random non-threatening occurrences

    • @theriverschool822
      @theriverschool822  11 месяцев назад +1

      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.
