I hear Guinea Hen tastes like chicken. :P

Youd have to PAY me to take the beasts - even if they do eat ticks.

Drop a couple hundred in those caves where the terrorists hang out a few hrs they'd be running out holding their bleeding ears beggng to give them selves up...

I love those birds! They say they will keep your fly population down cause they pick thru the manure piles and eat all the young ones and larvae. The noise is Kinda cool, But as stated on the garden thread, I am kinda weird. but no dont send me one if you get me for Secret Santa! :P :lol:
OK Wait Can I edit?? I was wrong about the sound, I was thinking Peacock, Not that screeching rusty wheel sound. Holy hell! But they are good for bugs! LOL ;)

There are always trade-offs with any livestock. Guineas are noisy, and they can be messy if allowed to roost in the barn. But no ticks here!

I hope I never have to resort to this!

Oh no neighbors BF wanted some he has this thang for chickens or any type of fowl bird.. They go home on Sunday...
Peacocks not nearly as bad in noise department as these things.. I now understand why the three cats ran out of barn this morning and refused to go back in..

Darn things were up in the loft when I went out to feed the kids this evening and they wouldnt get back into their side of the barn.. lucky dh came home and he being the big tough army dude he is came to my rescue and picked those suckers up and tossed them back over the wall...

Cant wait till Sunday the kids will be a lot happier when htey can go into the stall to eat and the llama might actually not spit at me..
