Hello, I live in Culpeper County Virginia. We live on 65 wooded acres on a small mountain. We have 20 something chickens, 3 dogs and 4 cats. I'm considering guineas and learning what I can about them first. I look forward to learning all I can to be self sufficient on our farm and making new friends.
Also, I'm an independent senior caregiver, homeschool.......one more to go out of 5 : ) |

Welcome Kalae from sunny Florida. Right now I'd rather be in the snow hehe! I home schooled my one and only child. My beautiful daughter Kayla. She just got married last May. It feels so good to know I had a big part in her education. She is now learning Chinese to teach others about God's Kingdom and devotes a big part of her time to helping others learn more about the Bible. I'm so proud of her!
I'd love to have chickens, but I settle for my gardening. At least I get a reward from my labors. Do you have a garden?

Welcome Kalea from Indiana. My son and his family live in Smithfield, so I spend a lot of time in Virginia. Such a beautiful state! I know you are going to love being here on the "Farm".

Welcome Kalea from FL. Love reading about your farm. Sounds like you are super busy- as am I. I find reading this site and connecting with other sisters helps keep me grounded and I am able to decompress. Looking forward to seeing you around the "Farm."

Hi, Kalea! Welcome to Farmgirls! Guinea hens are amazing. Wonderful for keeping the bugs down. They are very noisy, though. Buyers Beware. When we had them on our ranch, they woke us up bright and early.

Welcome Kalea
wow 65 acres that is fantastic!
we hope to someday in near future find us
about 5 acres have 1/2 acre at the moment.
lots of chickens... love those chickens. I
have one girl 'gabby' she is a spoiled hen.
husband had to help feed animals when I was
sick and got attached to the 3 hens I had
and spoiled them. ha other two are gone now
hope to get more soon so gabby isn't alone so
much. she spends her days with the wallabies.
I wanted to get some guineas but husband said NO
we are in a residential area they are too loud
for his taste. ha I wanted them for natural
pest control but will wait for now.
I was a homeschool mom my boy just turned 24.
will enjoy getting to know you.

Welcome Kalea, from northeast Texas. My sister has guineas and says they are good watch dogs. They roost in trees and have the run of the place.

Thankyou for the warm welcome : ) I've been reading about them...my husband is especially interested because they eat ticks. He's had a bad case of lyme disease. Eventually when we can afford it I will buy some and start them off so they hopefully stay around. Lately we've had a lot of problems with bear and an occasional dog if it's not our own.

So glad you are here! I love guineas! They are loud but so cool. The females' call is two syllables. When they settle disputes amongst themselves the males wrestle with their necks. When they go after bugs they do a funny hovercraft move. They are more independent than chickens. Some people complain cause theirs leave. One woman told her that hers all left on their own and moved to the nearby state game lands where of course, the hunters hate their alert noisy ways.
