A friend called yesterday and asked if I knew anyone who had guineas for sale. She found a tick on herself. I called a friend who I got guineas from a few years ago. This friend didn't have any but told me she found a tick on her shoulder the week before. Today another friend came over to see my animals. When we came in the house I told her I felt like I had bugs crawling on my head. Sure enough, I found a tick. It's February 1st and 70 degrees. This probably shouldn't surprise me (finding ticks) but it does.
For one weak moment I thought I should get some guineas too but then I remembered how they tormented my chickens, and how they screached and made so much noise........and how they tasted so good. Maybe we should get a few. They really do a great job keeping bugs away.

I only had one guinea that I liked. Runty, the wonder guinea. Everyone else was horrible and aggressive. But you said they tasted good, so theoretically you could let them fatten up on ticks!
