My Granny had Guineas and she would say, 'wanna see the Guineas get upset? I'd say yep siree and she'd go put on her blue with white polka dot dress on and stand in the window ... The Guineas would pitch a fit and Granny would laugh then go take her dress off and put on her work clothes... Ahhh The Mountains of WVA was my home growing up... :) .
Oh my goodness, your Granny sounds like a real hoot.
Goats ruin ground
Wherever they pee,grass dies
They also go crazy with an open umbrella!!😂
My WV granny had guineas also and I hated to hear them hollering which my granny called “pot rackin” but now that I’m older and fighting a tick infestation I’m ready to get guineas on the farm for pest control their noise will be a small price to pay for the job they do
Rofl 🤣
I had a Guinea show up at my home a year ago. I love her. She sets off a loud alarm like screech when she sees a snake. She recently chased off a solicitor that came in my yard. It was hilarious!! The best watch dog anyone could have. 😃
There is no way a person could script that!!! Great job slowing it down so we could see the look on Jen's face...
...and that agonizing agghhhh! kinda scream. Hahaha.
The look on Zachs face also in slow mo... I love the Stivers...
They will turn a pot of rice yellow as butter and unlike a chicken, a guinea is all dark meat. They're delicious. I've only been able to talk my mom into sacrificing 2 for supper in my life. She's always had them and I'm 47 yrs old, that might give you a hint of how much she loves her guineas! Lol. I agree with it all. Tyfs and God bless.
Becky photobombed 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t stop laughing. And she hung out with you Jen so long. I love her ❤️
Omg this couple is absolutely adorable full of smiles the passion and love for their farm babies can be seen so much. Why didn't I find this video previously. Love it, love them and their lovely farm bubbas 💕💞❤
OH MY GOODNESS JENN!!! That was hilarious when Becky jumped up on your shoulder. You are such an good sport! 😊🌻❤️
That chicken on Jens shoulder and her reaction may be the best thing ive seen in weeks!
Amen to that. 🤣
😂😂😂
wat type of grass is that in the pens/paddocks
also dont they fly off over that fence
The music for your intro is so unbelievably relaxing and I could listen to it for hours!!!
Yeah. Who is that?
Agreed - who is that?
This was absolutely the best way to start my morning with my cup of coffee after spending time in my gardens. So much laughter & love. Jenn I absolutely love how gentle you are & how you are always smiling, always full of joy & light. Zac, I like how you can make your audience feel like we’re right there at the homestead with you guys. I absolutely can’t wait until we move next year, guineas will for sure be on our homestead. I’ve always wanted some.
I was watching this video while eating dinner. When Becky jumped on Jen’s shoulder, I almost spit my food out. Then Becky started pecking at the top of Jen’s head. I almost lost it. Zack just kept on going like it was an everyday occurrence. Y’all are always fun to watch, but this one takes the cake. It was very informative though, so you did accomplish the goal of the video. It just had bonus moments! Love & Hugs from Ft. Worth, Texas
Haha thank you! Yea a not so funny video turned into our most funny yet lol
Hey Stivers! I'm still laughing about that chicken surprising Jenn like that! Oh man, the look on her face was priceless! I must say, Jenn, you handled it a whole lot better than I would have. But hey, you guys, thanks for the lesson on guineas. A lot of that stuff I did not know. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for letting us "see it one more time!!" God bless you, Stivers!
Great piece about guineas. We had gotten handful from neighboring rancher, way back in 80s, but they were grown. They would roost in huge oak by barn . But after couple weeks, they decided to go back home & we never tried again. So, i like your advice & stories about them. Thanks for sharing
Oh my God! I just love you all. Thank you for always sharing and just being so genuine.
We have four guineas and enjoy their unique personalities. Ours are pretty loud (you hear them a lot in our videos) but I think it’s cool and makes the farm sound come alive since we don’t currently have a rooster.
Jenn and the chicken could definitely make it on America’s Funniest Videos 😂
I do think they’re comparable with how ducks/geese sounds, yet it’s more like a mix with a crow:D Just the typical ZOO sounds, I love them haha!:D
Oh Jenn , you are a real trooper..you got attached through over half this video and still keep your cool...you rock girl...
That was the best belly laugh. Love it! Jenn, what a trooper and Zach just keeps on going. So funny!
The Stivers rock, Zach just keeping it cool, just keep on rolling. lol Jen is cool
I love your introduction to your channel as well, music is beautiful and pictures. Becky chicken stole the show , that just means your animals love you and trust you completely ! I think y'all are just amazing ! Great information! I have a rooster that lets me know the mailman has pulled up to the box on the road ! 😂
You guys are the best keep up the good work ,I don’t watch tv ,but I can’t stop watching you guys you are my entertainment can’t wait for each new video !!
Your videos are so fun! Chicken on shoulder, goat biting legs, and goat jumping on you back. My husband and I use to raise white guinies, and the most beautiful thing I have ever seen is when they have their little white fluffy babies, they would look like little snowballs with feet walking behind them. Yes guinie makes a great guinie bog (guinie and rice). Thats what we call it in South Carolina. We also say: that it sounds like the guinies are always saying "Don't Crank, Don't Crank", especially when you are trying to start your car and it won't crank. Lol Tfs
Haha that’s such an accurate comparison! I bet guinea bob is fantastic! We’ve had chicken bob (North Carolina) so I can just imagine Guinea being even better!
OMG to funny, I laughed so hard when Becky flew up on Jen's head, omg and Jen's reaction and the repeat was priceless. definitely AFV moment. hahaha love you guys
Omgoodness!!! I can't stop laughing! You two are SO MUCH FUN!
Aww! Simple country life. Who misses the big city?
Now I feel like I should start having guineas in my yard. Never knew these facts. Thanks Jen and Zach.
I'll have to show how I do my guineas. 😉 I have 17 guineas, not fully mature just yet, but they are all free ranging now, only getting fed at night in their coop where I lock them up at night. I didn't want guineas, but I didn't want ticks more. With 35+ acres for them to roam, they are not a problem.
We got 30 guineas once. Kept them cooped for 3 months. The first time we let them out half took off down the road, and the other half hid in the grass. Collected up the half that were still around. Let them out the next time and they took off. The neighbors would call and tell us that our critters were walking down the road but we could never catch them.
We had the same problem. They came back to their pen every night. One night I didn't get the door to their pen open before bedtime (dusk), and they flew up and roosted in the tops of the white pines, though. Some harsh weather was predicted, so I got the tall ladder out and took them one at a time down to their cage. I didn't neglect to open their cage on time again! (There were foxes and raccoons in the area that would nab them at night, which is why the door was kept shut during the day.)
We got them when they were older (from a guy who was going to shoot them because of the racket), so maybe they just didn't imprint on their property as they would have if we had hatched them there. I did read that they have a 25-mile radius territory. I hope the neighbors appreciated the tick reduction on their properties, lol!
It's Fantastic to See how All the Critters Love Y'all!!-Be Blessed🙏🐾🙏🐾🙏🐾🙏
I love the hen wanting to be part of the conversation...so funny...this is nature
I absolutely love you people!!!!🤷 I can't help it. No matter what, I smile while watching you. Thank you for helping to relax me tonight. Bless you both!!
Hi Becky. Photo bomber chicken!😂😂😂
❤️❤️❤️ you are to kind!
Just being honest, sweetheart. ❤️✌️
Becky. I have not laughed so hard in years. I didn't even hear one word you said. So I will have to watch this again. FIRST the goats then the chicken Becky. LOVE IT. THANK YOU
Another plus for having guineas is their eggs are super delicious! By far the best tasting eggs of the ducks, geese, and chickens we have.
Love the footage of the goats. Thanks for sharing
The Baby Goats are so cute .All the animals are all looking so good .
This was the best Guinea video yet. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
You guys are full of smiles and energy, love it!
Great video as always. That chicken came out of nowhere. Must be a ninja chicken. I was waiting for it to lay a egg.
Guineas are on the list along with more chickens, Bantam hens, ducks, and maybe Turkey's. I basically want all the animals 😂
Poor Jenn...Me thinks that little piece of video will show up in future videos. Zach seemed to take a little too much pleasure in sharing it with the masses, LOL, You guys are so much fun. Enjoyed the information on guineas.
This video is too awesome..I love you guys..
My wife and I sure loved this video! We just got two more Guineas.❤
The chickens and goats are mad because y'all are not talking about them LOL I can't stop laughing😂😂 so glad y'all posted that on Facebook that made my day😂😂
ROFL!!! That chicken was priceless!! 😄
How hilarious....you guys are great!! Critters must love you!
Great video. We make rethink getting guineas 👍
For sure! They are the best!
I have been watching Guinea videos ALL day! Yours is my favorite! I I like you people a lot! Y'all and your home is awesome!
Oh wow i have been watching You Tube for a long time I am very Impress with your show i would like to visit when life calm down. i am crying with real wow.thanks joy to see real people
Your video is very informative and makes lots of sense. I’ve had chickens for over 15 years, but never tried guineas because I’m afraid of their noise. Thank you!
Thank you both for your time and energy
I have no idea what you were saying after the chicken flew up on her shoulder 😂🤩😂🤩😂 y’all are toooooo funny and I really shouldn’t be watching you when I’m in bed and hubby is sleeping 😅
😂😂😂 hahaha
Lovely happy couple there. Very pleasant to listen to and down to earth no nonsense information. They must be a hoot to be around! Even there animals love them! Thanks guys.
"chickens do it but gueneas do it better"....that was good!!
I enjoy the sound of Guinea fowl. And use their feathers for fly tying. Loved the goat massage !
I just keep watching it over and over it is so funny. Zach is leaning backwards and the expressions on your faces makes me laugh all over again lol
I'm SO glad my phone has an Otter Box on it because I spit water everywhere!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣 LOL!!!! Poor Jenn...Bless her. I just love y'all. This was a great video.
😂😂😂 to funny!!
My grandma had them and as a kid I loved their sounds. Us kids would go around imitating them.....Podddd Errrr Rackkkkkk
Going to go viral Zach & Jen!!!
😂😂
Love... thank you for sharing your experiences with these animals, it was very kind and helpful
Keep up the good work guys. Love watching your stuff after a long day of work. ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺.
The whole first part of this video I thought you guys were talking about guinea pigs 😂 DUH 😂
I’m such a city girl! Love your farm!
GOD bless! Sending ❤️ love from Southern California
Haha we probably should have added Guinea ‘Fowl’ to help clarify.
Stivers Homestead ....us City girls have no clue LOL I laughed because even now I keep remembering the cute noise Guinea pigs make. It can be an annoying squeak. Then realizing it was the bird! Oh my goodness I’m still giggling 🤭. beautiful feathers on those guineas , like polka dots.
Between Becky and the goats this was a fantastic video!!!!
Oh my goodness, you guys are so cute. I’ve just begun research on guineas to help with ticks in our yard, and I found your video. Thanks for the info!
The animals are so cute. They really bond with you. Good video.
I saw this on Facebook feed. Lol. Oh so funny. Love how the animals want to be near you. I've wanted guineas but I only want a few.
I've been enjoying your videos for several years. Love you all.
Best photo bomb award goes to Chicken Becky!
You have chicken Becky, Jess has kitten George. It shows that you take care of your animals and they care for you.
My neighbor had 2 genies, we told them that we loved them, I guess they hung over here to much. We tried to shew them home. They got ride of them. 😣. Loved the video.
I love how Becky is pecking your hair and you just keep talking. Jen, you are amazing.
Its funny people call all this homesteading but here in Kentucky we just call it livin!! If yall are like me I have always lived this way!! Great vid very funny!!!!!!!
This is the most wholesome video! Thank you so much for sharing
Becky! We’re ALL living for Becky right now! 🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love goats! I love guineas! But BECKY….WE LOOOOOVE BECKY!!
You guys make me smile!
Endearing couple. You are living the good life, my friends. God bless and keep it up.
What an awesome video! And yes you might have changed my mind about trying guineas. Have a great day guys and thanks!
I need all the birds! I had Guinea fowl growing up and they would always jump up on our roof and we would hear the pitter patter of their feet. Love the video yall
Hello Stivers. This was one of the funniest and most informative videos I've seen so far. Keep up the good work, because your channel is awesome. Xoxo's from Connecticut.
I was so scared that chicken was going to go after your eyes. But she just sit there it was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.
What a riot!!! i thought you were going to lose your shirt at one point there....that little goat was nibbling away and the hen was just happy as a clam roosting on your shoulder ...and then it started raining ! Lots of super information, thanks! PS You guys are great
Omg! The chickens was great!!! Thank you for the fabulous video!❤️🙂❤️
My friend brought up getting a guinea and I found y'all's video, you both look so happy holy canoli 🥺🥰
Favorite video of all time!!! Sorry, Jenn, it was at your expense but so FUNNY!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 BLESSINGS!!!
My husband would have completely had a deadly heart attack if a chicken landed on him. He’s terrified of chickens. I have to show him this later lol🦋💜If you watch Wholesome Roots channel, they have a Children’s slide they have in with the goats. Like Little Tykes type. The goats love it and you might find one at a yard sale
One of my neighbors turned woods into a goat pen and cut several tree stumps at various heights. He built ramps and just let his goats have a fun.😄
I just ran across your channel and I am now a subscriber. I’m a fellow chicken farmer in the city though.
Jen that was the most hilarious beautiful response to the chickens coming up into you!
Beautiful entertaining TV and your response that was just priceless.
I want to get guineas here in Alaska in the future so thank you for your take on the information.
Omgosh! That chicken! LOLOLOL!! Good information too!
My wife is in love with Guinea’s! We live in Casey county near the town of Liberty,KY. Do you guys ever hatch any Guinea eggs? We enjoy your channel. You all are real people. Thanks
Absolutely the best video yet!! I so needed this after my stressful day! I laughed and smiled the entire time. Thank you so much for sharing!!
They can be a regular mob when something is in the yard that doesn’t belong there. My daughter observed them in the field chasing something around and eating it. As she got closer to her surprise they had found a field mouse nest and were dispatching the babies with gusto. They love a fresh snake too.
You guys just made my day!!🤣🤣. Thanks for giving us a rerun of the hen attack!😂
I'm sorry y'all ... I heard all of the serious education you gave on guineas, but I laughed my butt off this whole video, and I needed it! Becky needs a shirt! Jenn, you are a trooper!!!!! (and agreed, love your channel, your vlogs and lives, and your music!) Fondly, your Louisville neighbor!
Ahhhahahaha...Too funny how you replayed the chicken flying up & landing on your shoulder, Jenn...& you both just take it in stride. And then getting nibbled on by the goats, & then Becky pecking at your head! Too funny! You two are a hoot! Both always so happy!
Loved hearing about Guinnea Hens, but then kept wondering why you weren't showing them.!!!!!
You're so used to seeing them, you don't realize - most of us have never even seen one up close!
Then loved that you added in the chicken landing & you reacting, in repeat mode, at the end!
Had two good laughs over that, but have to go research those hens to see what they look like! Lol.
You two really enjoy each other, & are making a good life for each other & your kids! I mean the human ones!
Loved seeing a bit of the new white goats you got from Jess & Miah too! Hope to see more vid of them & the other goats up close, while they're still kinda small, before they're all grown up. They're growing so fast! Seems just a few weeks ago, watched Jess bottle feeding them!
Hilarious!! Love you guys!!
We always dehorned our goats. I miss having guineas
Stivers, please keep the videos going. You bring a lot of joy to this old city fart!
When I grow up, I wanna be just like you.
Thanks a lot!
Edgar
I had guinea's many years ago..some days I wanted to cook them, lol...other times I was glad I had them!
I can't wait to have a few next year.
HARD TO PAY ATTENTION I LAUGHING TOO HARD LOVE LUCY THANK YOU FOR TEACHING GOOD DAY.
😁😁😁I love that your animals all love y’all! God Bless ❤️
The only biggest issue that was not mentioned that I see being a HUGE issue for people in guinea fowl groups is neighbors... they travel to the neighbors yard and if a neighbor does not like it... it can be a huge headache...
That silly chicken made me pee my pant!!!😄😄😄😄😄😄 That was so stinking funny.... Thanks for sharing you guys.... lot of love
You guys are always smiling, I love it!! Happy day's on the farm Thrive on...Thanks
Oh my goodness Becky's entrance and the look on both your faces is priceless. Thanks for this very helpful information.
I looked for a video about Guineas, because one has suddenly appeared in our yard every day, for about a week. At first we didn't mind, because we love animals. We were surprised because we're not in way out in the country, rather in a typical "neighborhood" setting, so we have no idea where this bird came from. We have a backyard garden and were happy when I read up in them and learned they'd get rid of ticks and bugs, of which we have many. The strange noise we just shrugged off, deciding it was worth the pest control. Here's where it got weird, and I do mean weird. The bird fell in love with my husbands car. We kept seeing it pacing back and forth along the side and wondered why. When evening came, it jumped on the hood and tucked it's head under it's feathers, with plans to sleep there for the night. We went out and shooed it way, NO WAY could we catch it. Believe it or not, it left it's droppings on the window on top of the windshield wipers. Let me tell you, I was shocked! No little pellets either, you would have thought the dog had left it. I promise you, I am not making this up. SO.... the car is now in the garage when not in use, but the bird now and then comes back to the driveway looking for it, while making it's funny sounds. Thanks for clarifying the difference in the sound between the male and female, this one is definitely a female! STRANGE BIRD INDEED!!!!!
