MORE ON GUINEA HENS....
I am half seriously considering getting some guinea hens. I know. CRAZY right? Wrong. These animals, a little smaller than chickens, are excellent at keeping pests out of gardens, and are a great way to control the nasty little TICKS in the backyard. I know, guinea hens right? They (once acclimated) stay in the yard, and are quite happy to be left alone. They don't eat much feed, as they spend their time eating bugs and weed seeds (got plenty of those....)
Oh yeah, and-like myself and big red- they like to look at themselves in the mirror! Really! They are pretty birds (much like myself and big red) and they know it too!check out some Guinea hen info:
