“””A Lyme sufferer told me that guinea hens eat ticks. I wonder if chickens do.”””
YES chickens do eat ticks........Live in a tick infested area and had at 1 time up to 45 pet chickens free range on 2 acres................they keep the tick population down!!! But the chickens ended up being nice snacks for the hawks and snakes :(
To judge from the prints they visit regularly fattening up from the winter fast.
