I grew up with guineas, ducks, geese, goats, sheep, pigeons of many varieties, as well chickens and bantams and dogs. my dad kept a lot of animals!!! I had a happy childhood with all our animals.
My daddy kept guineas around for the sole purpose to use as a " watchdog" if anything would dare trespass in the early morning hours they let him know . It was 12 gauge time .

Funny that you make that observation. Ever since we have had Guinea my son calls them the dinosaur-bird because of their heads. But when they come up to greet us when we go out in the yard that is how they come running at us like they are small raptors.
Very informative. They have many advantages for a farm especially where I live and we're over run with ticks. I just can't stand the noise they make though and they never seem to shut up!
I raised Guineafowl for 4H and my Keets were so tame they would huddle up with me to eat fresh sprouts and mealworms right from my hand, even as adults they would run to greet me when I came home from school because I always had treats. My favorite to give them was crickets because watching them scatter to grab one was the kind of fun you had as a boy on a farm in the 70s. Later as an adult, I raised exotic birds from the tiniest Finches and Button Quail all the way up to Emu, with a bunch of squawking parrots thrown in the mix. I had Tufted Guineafowl from South Africa and Reichenow’s Guineafowl from Tanzania. The ones out in my yard were West African Guineafowl the domesticated ones we see everywhere.
I adore these snarky, round little birds!! My guinea hen Ethel will talk back to me and scream at falling leaves, as well as keep my other hens and ducks in line. Sometimes she'll settle down enough for me to hold her but she complains if I hold her for too long
In Portuguese they are called “galinha de Angola” (that means Angola chicken). I worked in Angola and they were everywhere. They are very popular in Brazil and are delicious. They are the best solution to eliminate ticks on a farm. They are great watch dogs.
Loved the video. As of right now I have a flock of around 45 guineas running with my laying hens. I could just sit and watch them all day. They are very animated! Hello from Texas!!
I remember when folks kept these in their yards. One of my Granny's friend's mother, an old black lady, let 2 guineas run free in and out of her house. Never saw a roach!
Love them, in Holland we call them pearl chickens, lol! Sadly the first time i met one, was on my plate, it tasted delicious. Honestly love to own a couple but not so i could eat them. When you see them right in front of you, you will see that they have intelligence and also the most adorable little beady eyes. And now i learned a out their tick eating habit, so they are the best fowl one can have.
I remember my father speaking of them from when I was a kid. I didn’t know why he wanted them but living in a city he couldn’t. Now I know why he had wished for them. Thank you.👍
guinea fowl are prevelant in Malawi, kept in villages as a "very sophisticated" meat. They only cook or eat these if it is a special occasion. I have personally encountered and observed these birds in the wild and in their natural habitat. They are SO MUCH bigger when kept in captivity here, they rely on very little in their natural habitat, the ones shown in this video are much larger then the ones in Africa. But they are solitary animals in the village that I visit 2-3 times a year, my son was adopted from there as well. They are much smaller when kept in their original environment in Africa. ":)
Thank you for this informative video. I must say that your voice is great to listen to and a type of clear voice that won't be needing subtitles from me. Great job!
I lived on a farm with a few of these birds and new nothing about them. This video was informative on all topics from history to geography thank you so much for it
We had a single guinea hen gifted to us by a local farm feed store. It had escaped the enclosure and no one had been able to corner it to sell it. They said if you can catch it you can have it. That summer and the next we were virtually tick free as that little hen would venture into the field eating ticks like we eat chips!! My wife didn’t appreciate the call of the bird as it was fairly constant, she needed a flock to settle down and our chickens just never understood her!😂
Their big fat body’s look so pretty but their heads are tiny and vulture like. I’ve heard they are great for getting rid of wood ticks. Thanks for the info I didn’t know much about them .💜
I didn't know any of this. Good go know. I mostly know them as very entertaining birds. I remember a museum I visited as a kid had them freeroaming the garden. And sometimes 1 of them would just start running for no reason which will cause a chainreaction of the whole flock running for literally no reason. I as a kid couldn't stop laughing.
I love the positive feedback you said about gunieas i my self am raising Guinea fowl and so far have gotten along with the chickens and are very vigilant on what ever suspicious activity is going on :)
Driving down an Alabama road last weekend when 15-20 of these ran across in front of my vehicle. Managed to get stopped. On the way back...14-19 birds. Someone didn't stop.
We had guineas in the past - have seen them attack cars that blew the horn when the guineas crossed the road. They kept ticks in check. They were funny to watch.
Had an aunt who raised guineas. She lived in the country about 20 miles from any neighbors. She would tell me they’re my dogs. As a small child I was very puzzled about her remark
One time I was on a bike ride. I was riding down a hill and a bunch of guineafowl crossed my path. I could SWEAR that they timed their movement so that I'd hit them had I not braked
When I had chickens I used to keep Guineas with them. Not only do they sound the alarm for predators, they will attack hawks trying to get my birds. I love them but my neighbours were not sold on them, even out in the country! Who needed a Rooster!! 😁
i live in Mexico and every morning and at sunset I hear this loud Squaking sound : I guess it must be A GUINEA the the elderly couple next door keep ..It is very loud but like clockwork I gusee they want the eggs ? I eat one once in FRANCE roasted and it was delicious!
Guinea eggs are delicious on their own but if you're a baker they're superior to chicken eggs. The yolks are richer and the whites are less likely to break.
We have them wild here where I live. They are insane, will attack dogs but quickly recognise pets that are harmless. They also beggars who will look for bread.
In Puerto Rico we have a lot of this. They are very noisy , fly and running in the top of the houses. Can make double nest, one over the other one . can destroy everything.
I’m looking forward to having some guineas since I have so many ticks on my land. I think that they are beautiful. My neighbor had some but he didn’t like how noisy they are.
If they are small enough they eat them. They are also just plain noisy. Even the dogs learn when the noise changes to investigate. Putting a fence around the garden does not work. They will eat the ripe tomatoes. So you have to cover the tomato patch with netting when they are to ready produce ripe fruit.
@@warrenpuckett4203 they won't if they were not given them or greens when they were young. if they were not given tomatoes or other above ground vegetables when young they typically do no damage in the garden other than they may dust bathe in between rows where the ground is already free of vegetation. they do less harm in the garden than chickens.
I enjoyed this wonderful video a lot 👍 No way could I ever eat such a fabulous bird that rids of us so many horrible insects .Ticks are most unpleasant and there for Guinea Fowl deserve a medal :)Have subscribed ..
Fascinating. Admire your care and creativity whenever I watch these videos. Thank You for all of your knowledge!
I literally just read this verbatim on another TH-cam video.
I grew up with guineas, ducks, geese, goats, sheep, pigeons of many varieties, as well chickens and bantams and dogs. my dad kept a lot of animals!!! I had a happy childhood with all our animals.
My mother absolutely loves guineas, she has raised many of them since I was tiny 😊
I love Guinness I have some
And we understand the knowledge of WAT DAT WAT DAT WAT DAT!!!!!

I've watched them dig moles out of the ground like velociraptors.
Funny that you make that observation.

We had two of them when I was a child in Baghdad. They didn't breed for years and suddenly they had many chicks. They are very cute.
My mom had some when i was younger. I called them clown face chicken 😂
They look like fat little baby turkeys. They're cute
One of my favorite sounds of the bush in South Africa!
Ever bumped ones, causes some damage .

I have raised them. These birds are so wonderful. they have potential to be great for pest management and reducing parasites in soil.

Guinea fowls are very cute beautiful loyal bird !
Killing bugs and protecting your yard !
The Guinea's are al over my school, and the farmers near my home have a group of them

Great vid, I love guineas... I have 19 on my property in Australia... they are hilarious and wonderful guard critters and tick control
I love watching them all move together. They really are beautiful birds!
So very informative! My family raised Guinea in Southern Italy until they came to the US in the 1930’s.
Thank you for your information. Love them!

They go after snakes, too.
Yes, we all heard that, in this video Captain Obvious.
Speaking from experience, guinea are brilliant at eating ticks, wood or deer.
@@oldcountryman2795 Are you more than one person?
They roost during an eclipse, that's so cute, they must get confused hehe

I'm calling 'FOWL' on this video.
You did a very good report! Blessing!
Amazing bird's and extremely intelligent. Lots of people claim they are stupid but not the case in my opinion. Pest control without insecticide.😊
Your videos always make me happy! Thank you!
I like to hatch guineas and chickens at the same time and raise them together . they are fun to watch

How can you take that noise!? Anytime I hear them it drives me crazy 😂
They are super annoying at times! I guess you just learn to drown it out.
How the hell did i get here i guess i was high on youtube again..
same , although i met these birds before so it was cool to learn about them more
I live in Florida and guinea fowl do excellent here
In Hungary named gyöngy tyúk English: Pearl chichken. We love make soup to meat. I have some little one too and love it
i should be studying... why am i here? i dont even have birds... idk why but watching this plump fellas do theyr thing is oddly soothing,
Hey this counts as studying, its educational!😄
@@HappyTailsAnimals hope the guinea fowls help me pass my exams
😂😅
Windscreen mortars as we call them in South Africa. You guys are welcome to come and fetch the rest of them

Guinea eggs are delicious on their own but if you're a baker they're superior to chicken eggs. The yolks are richer and the whites are less likely to break.

I tried every color and breed of guinea, and only the Lavender Guinea thrived free ranged in Indiana.
The "Poor Man's" Watch Dog.
So cool. Great video.
It eats bugs, is hardy, and tastes like pheasant. This is all excellent.
It sounds like a strangled demon. That is not so excellent.

I had a male and a female guinea once. They were really mean to everyone in the flock so they’re not here anymore
Whenever someone asks me what a guinea looks like, I tell 'em "If Marvin the Martian had chickens, they'd look like guineas."
Super informative thank you
Guinea's are very nice
They make a great gumbo
Guinea fowls are a similarity hybrid of a turkey 🦃 and chicken. Guinea fowls are medium plump ground birds with grayish black feathers
fyi from Tennessee zone 7a , my Guineas will stay in trees down to - 10 f for days
Amazing
