A new start... Guinea fowl coop (edit: lots of pictures, more as I go)

Not the OP. but I have Guineas for a few reasons. First when they are allowed to free range they are good buggers, and are known to have a taste for ticks and even snakes. Second they are a good first alert for predators, this includes people. (my personal main reason) They also lay eggs as well as taste much like Phesant for dinner.

Thanks for answering!

I keep them pretty much the reasons posted above, they take care of bugs and other pests (ticks is a big one), they (usually) dont scratch, when we had them guineas before they would tell us before the dogs would if someone is coming up the property.

I have my guineas for the same reasons as above, too!
I do not like ticks and neither do my dogs.
So I'm hoping my guineas get FAT from eating ticks!!
