Guineas

Guinea Fowl are excellent at getting rid of ticks, grasshoppers, and most other bugs on your property. They are also great at keeping snakes away, and love to snack on any errant mice or voles they happen upon! 

In addition to pest control, Guineas make wonderful watch dogs.  Sounding off at intruders of any kind, they'll let you know if someone or something doesn’t belong. 

And if all the above weren’t enough, their meat is delicious - and you can also eat their eggs!
