A warning about Guinea Hens, they are very
loud. They are great as "watch dogs" and love to eat bugs, but I can't
stand their noise. I would rather listen to my Pyr bark (which she is very
good at) all night (and day).
However I'll give Winnie credit, I got her from the
PA rescue and without training she is a wonderful LGD. She loves being in
with the farm animals. I haven't lost a single chicken to critters
yet. And coyotes don't bother the goats and sheep, unfortunately we
have lots of them in the woods here. She growls and takes a different
stance whenever she hears them howling in the distance.
I would call my local Ag agent to find a farmer who
raises Guinea Hens or ask at the local feed store.
Good luck,
Heidi in the very, very cold Catskill Mountains of
NY
