[QUOTE="Gale Seddon, post: 90087, member: 53"] Jeanne, glad you were able to finally get a diagnosis and start treatment... If you can stand the racket (I'm used to it by now), guinea hens EAT TICKS...have had a bunch of guineas for the last few years, and we find very few ticks here...they are kind of amusing (guineas) when the males go through their spring/summer races, chasing each other at blinding speeds for 15 minutes at a time, no matter how hot it is outside, makes you tired to watch them...and they travel in groups through the pastures, eating whatever bugs are out there....I wouldn't mind having more guineas around, but they're not too successful at reproducing though (at least ours aren't)....if they do manage to hatch out (without a predator trashing the nest), the babies are susceptible to damp grass and mothers don't wait for the slower ones to catch up, so if they get lost, they're gone...interesting birds that have become useful on our farm.
