Pros: eat ticks, pretty, don't fight each other often
Cons: noisy, always flying over in someone else's yard
Guineas are great for eating ticks and other pesky bugs. The only cons I have about them is is that they can't stay in the yard, and then when they want to come back in mine they don't have the sense to fly over the fence. I have to make them fly over the fence. They are a little noisy when they start to cackle, but there calm peep is nice to hear. Male Guineas don't fight each other often, so I don't have to worry about them getting hurt. They get along with the other poultry and goats just fine. Occasionally one will chase a cat around.
My guineas roost in trees at night and are free-range. I have a flock of about 14 right now. Usually when people come over and see the guineas they think they are turkeys, lol.

But I do have to admit that they sort of look like young turkeys.


My guineas have hatched out plenty of keets. When we had problems with foxes and some of the mothers were killed, our two cochin hens raised them.


Currently I have about 13 guinea cocks and 1 or 2 guinea hens.
Pros: Sweet, pretty
Cons: Cons? About EEs? None!
I have one Easter Egger, Sylvia, and she is the best hen I've ever had! Sylvia's never laid an egg yet, and I hope she does next spring. She is very cluckative, always chirping and cooing when I hold her. I think, from the experience of having Sylvia, that they are indeed a wonderful breed.
