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.
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.
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!!
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.
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 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 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
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 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. ":)
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!😂
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 :)
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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 .💜
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.
My friend had a terrible flea infestation. He got 6 guineas and within a short time, the fleas were gone and ticks were impossible to find. Good but noisy fowl.They have a tendency to hide their blue eggs rather than laying in a nest.
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!
I landed on this video from another post where comments were turned off. That post was from (I think) somewhere in Canada, and the logo from “CBC” appeared at the end. The woman raising Guineas for sale stated that they had a really “good spring” for selling. Then mentioned she recommended getting your (starter birds) guineas in the fall, but the clip cut off. We have a huge tick problem where we are; which is why I think many people buy guineas in the spring, as we are in now. She also mentioned, ‘establishing a home’, but again; it’s as if the guineas may runoff, but getting them in the fall, I.e. heading into winter, would environmentally encourage them to stick around. Clearly this is referent to a free range arrangement. What is your experience and what do you recommend?
more or less you can prevent them from running off by keeping them in coop or chicken tractor for a solid month before releasing them to free range in the day. also feed the at the coop at the same time each day or give them treats at the same location at the same time of day. if brought as keets it is easier to train them to come home than adult birds transplanted to a new home.
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.
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 love your videos so much! I hope you can squeeze this into your schedule. I was looking into parakeets and your really one of the only youtbers I trust when it comes to animal care I was hoping you could do a complete updated parakeet care guide with everything from supplies to basic do’s and don’ts.I hope it’s not that much of a hassle ps love your vids sooo much I appreciate you making them for animal lovers like us!
Fascinating. Admire your care and creativity whenever I watch these videos. Thank You for all of your knowledge!

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!!!!!
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.
They look like fat little baby turkeys. They're cute
I've watched them dig moles out of the ground like velociraptors.
Funny that you make that observation.

One of my favorite sounds of the bush in South Africa!
Ever bumped ones, causes some damage .

The Guinea's are al over my school, and the farmers near my home have a group of them

Guineas are the BEST!
Thank you for the video!
I have raised them. These birds are so wonderful. they have potential to be great for pest management and reducing parasites in soil.
I'm pencil color artist and I've coloring pencil of 6 guinea fowls picture framed and its on my wall and I made another one for my aunt.

I feel like I’d be the kind of person who gets chased down by a flock of guinea fowl ☺️. Really interesting video 😊

So very informative! My family raised Guinea in Southern Italy until they came to the US in the 1930’s.
Amazing
Amazing bird's and extremely intelligent. Lots of people claim they are stupid but not the case in my opinion. Pest control without insecticide.😊
do u also have turkeys
When buying Guinea fowl for pest control on a small farm, how large should the flock be and what is a reasonable price to pay for each bird
They roost during an eclipse, that's so cute, they must get confused hehe
Your vlog was truly helpful. Well done !
What kind of bird is the emerald necked one in the background of some shots?
Great info. Thank You 🌞
I love watching them all move together. They really are beautiful birds!
I loved this video! Shared it with my fam bam! I appreciate you!!!
I had a male and a female guinea once. They were really mean to everyone in the flock so they’re not here anymore
I'm calling 'FOWL' on this video.
Love your vids!!!
I like to hatch guineas and chickens at the same time and raise them together . they are fun to watch
I live in Florida and guinea fowl do excellent here
So cool. Great video.

Hey this counts as studying, its educational!😄
@@HappyTailsAnimals hope the guinea fowls help me pass my exams

Do they eat mosquitos? Could I keep one in my backyard here in Houston?
Yes they do , you should have two or three , they get lonely and die....

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
good info.
Yay!!! I am early!!!
