I adore my guineas! ❤️
This creature is hands down the most chaotic animal on the farm 😂
Guineas originally come from Africa, where they roam around eating insects, seeds, weeds, snakes, ticks, and pretty much anything else they can fit in their little dinosaur mouths. Farmers love them because they’re excellent tick control, they sound the alarm whenever something unusual happens, and they’re hardy birds that don’t require a lot of special care.
Now let me tell you what the brochures leave out.
These birds are absolute jerks.
They spend their entire day screaming about things that don’t matter. A leaf blows across the yard? Emergency. A squirrel exists? Emergency. The mailman drives by three miles away? DEFCON 1.
They pick fights with chickens, harass the ducks, insult the dogs, will fight a whole grown human, and somehow manage to make every other animal on the farm question its life choices.
If one guinea decides to run across the road, the others will immediately follow without asking a single question. There is no leadership. There is no strategy. There is only chaos.
And yet…they’re oddly useful.
Our guineas eat ticks by the thousands, patrol the farm like tiny feathered security guards, and alert us to visitors long before anyone reaches the driveway. They’re terrible employees but excellent alarm systems.
So if you ever hear a loud, frantic racket coming from our farm, don’t worry. Nothing is wrong.
The guineas have simply spotted something suspicious.
Like a butterfly.
Or a cloud.
Or each other.
