Guineas vs Snake

Snakes are a threat to their chicks. They can't kill it but they can make it uncomfortable so it will leave. I've seen them chase off a rattle snake.

[@debbiekousmat6101]

We just got a few of them because we found a snake in our chicken coop. They are the new alarm system!

That guiet chirping sound they make in the video is probably the most adorable sound they produce. If they only made that sound I would still have them.

[@tuppy]

I love guineas. They’re so brave ❤

[@brianolson2171]

We had guineas on our farm what I was a kid. It wasn't unusual to see them out in the fields sometimes over a mile away but they always came back in the evening to roost in the implement shed. Then one year the flock slowly started to thin out until there were no more. We think hawks or coyotes killed them all.

[@_s827]

yeah, my own experience is that you have to have a flock big enough that it withstands the attrition. They might have good eyesight and be able to fly high up into trees, but predators still get them pretty easily if there aren't enough of them to keep up the population.

[@marshallwebb7050]

Gotta control those predator numbers, or have good deturant set up. donkeyS will kill Coyote's. Hawks and eagles though, there just ain't much you can do shy of having a pen.

[@alex369]

@@marshallwebb7050 you can add a bunch of wires over a big plot of land for them to be under. the cable wiring will not allow eagles and hawks to fly in fast.

[@marshallwebb7050]

[@farmtalk491]

Once I saw all my peafowl concerned about some long reptile. They were gathered around making a fuss. I thought, "That's a big snake." But when I got closer I saw it was about a three to four-foot alligator in my driveway! Yes, I live in LA, but I still don't usually see those things just walking up the driveway like somebody coming for a visit. I captured it and had animal control take it where they thought best.

[@jackierademeyer3670]

Brave you!

[@shadrackn9225]

Did you see the things the guy threw towards the snake so guineas can see the snake? 0:57 watch closely

[@theriverschool822]

I pretend throw, it's a technique in animal training to make them look somewhere. It's like pointing at the snake to a human.

[@OceanbornAngel]

The reason for owning Guineas I suppose.

[@theriverschool822]

The best reason is they eat the fleas and ticks in the area. They eat some of the invasive bugs, like Japanese beetles, which leaves us more raspberries in the fall. I'm not sure they really are great at snake deterrence, but better than our chickens who do nothing.

You obviously haven't seen "Guinea Fowl with rat". Even more captivating than this.

[@Marlynnamm]

Joe Button He was making a point. Many people get these due to a myth they kill and keep snakes away. It's not true. however it helps Breeders sell noisy, nasty, messy fowl.

[@SandraFowler]

Yeah they're no better at deterring snakes than chickens really. The right rooster will drive a snake away but many won't - the same is true for male guinea fowl. But they're nice birds to have around even if they are messy and noisy and their eggs are lovely.

[@robiseppi]

Thank you. I am about to get some for rattlesnakes control and you gave me the insight.

[@matts7975]

Useless birds in my experience. I kept hearing this myth that they are good bug eaters and alarms, so I bought twelve. Haven’t seen them eat a bug even when throwing crippled crickets and grasshoppers in front of them and strangers regularly show up and I never hear a peep. But they sure get loud for other random non-threatening occurrences

[@theriverschool822]

They did an amazing job at keeping the ticks away. We lost the last guinea 3 years ago, the the tick count finally started going back to normal last summer. I need to get some more. They also survived in the wild without any care for about 8 years and raised their own babies, until wild pigs came into the area and made ground nesting impossible. We only bought baby guineas once and got 8 years of tick protection.

[@pby1000]

Are guineas worth keeping?

[@erintubb9860]

They will eat almost all of the ticks in your yard. Small snakes as well.

[@niamtxiv]

They can be extremely loud. Louder than chickens lol

[@psychobunny32]

The River School how do you tell the difference between male/female? I have 3 guineas and I know I have at least 1 female because I get eggs, but they all look the same.

[@theriverschool822]

They make different noises, but I never use that. I just know by which ones lay eggs. Our guineas sleep in the top of our peach tree at night, feed themselves in the summer, but fed some oats in the winter. They raise their own young without any interference from us. We get to enjoy less bad bugs (flea/tick/worm larva/june bugs/Japanese beetles. ) I can't imagine our farm without them.

[@psychobunny32]

The River School thanks

[@sherrieharris2970]

I use to have three now only one left Dot the head leader. The only one who won’t just go up to anyone. Polka and Little Dot got stolen bc they would actually let people hold them. Had to report for jury duty as soon as I got home I knew they were gone bc they weren’t at their normal place for every time I left. Whenever they could hear my truck pulling up they would come running up to greet me. Still missing them two babies bad!! Scared to get another one of fear someone else will nab the next one I raise from chics. But love my Dot!!

[@theriverschool822]

Our guineas aren't that friendly. We did have a wave of predators in the fall, eagle, horned owl, and fox. We are down to just 2 adults guineas. These have been living independent raising their own for 5 years now, with just an occasional feeding. I was worried they were going to go extinct, but I think they have a nest now. So, there's hope. We had 11 adults in the fall.

[@sherrieharris2970]

The River School that’s awesome!!! We have a feed store here that sales a couple dozen each year. I love them. They really help your lawn and land. Yeah I worry about the predators too.

Do the guineas eat the small lizards and reptiles?

[@theriverschool822]

They could like chickens could, but they tend to eat small bugs and grass seeds. They love to eat ticks and fleas or follow me when I cut the grass to eat the little bugs and tiny grasshoppers that just out. They are excellent for tick control. We hardly have any near our house and our livestock have less fleas since we added guineas. I think they make the goats have less worms too, by eating the worms in their larval state. I love guineas. The wild pig have just found our area are making it hard to nest on the ground anymore.

I believe they alerted me to it originally, then moved away and I brought their attention back, but that was so long ago I can't remember the details.
