Thank you!
I really didn’t want to get guinea hens because four chickens is all I can handle. I did notice that they hangout at the groundhogs tunnel openings and was hoping that they were snacking on ticks.
My guess is I pick up ticks when I take my dog for a walk. Living out in the country is dangerous but nice :) LOL
I’m not sure how many ticks four hens will catch.
I have four dozen or so and I make them forage when the weather is warm. When there’s nothing much outdoors for them to eat I give them all of the pellets and corn chops they can eat. When things turn green outside I cut way back on their rations.
