Guineau Hens? Supposedly those eat ticks when they forage. You see them around farms and such, so they seem to stick close. Maybe somebody else can amplify.

I had 3 guinea hens when I had the farm, got them as day olds and kept under a light until they were full feathered out. then they went in the chicken coop with the chickens. If you get them young, they will stay on your farm, if you get them as adults, I don’t know if they would stick around. Sometimes they’d roost in the coop, other times they’d roost in the trees. Nice feathers and my husband always said they look like tanks..all body, skinny neck and small head..liked them....
