Looking for some guineas. I need to clean up my yard. The ticks are unreal this year.
I want a tick disease nearly as much as I want syphilis. But at this rate I am likely to get the former.
So, if anyone has some unwanted guineas, they will be loved and adored and never told to shut up.
They will have 5 acres to terrorize, and a their pet pup to ostracize.
They will live a good life eating well, and they will do me a great service in helping to clean up the tick population,
that will otherwise make me ill with something horrid.

Am located in Central MA, hoping to pick them up from somewhere within a 2 and a half hour distance max.
Can and will pay for them a fair and reasonable market value rate.

Hi Amanda 👋 unfortunately I can't help you, I don't have guineas, and live to far away. I work at a Co-op, and we sell them. Are there any Co-op's close to you? Also we tell people about a local Facebook group that have critters they want, or want to get rid of.
Good luck I hope you find some guinea hens.

I don't know if you have Tractor Supply there, but here, they have guinea fowl sometimes and can order them when they don't have them in stock.
 
Something must be done about this. Let's start by reading this tiny ad:
