Not Sure Why

We received 35 Guinea Fowl eggs from Willie. We loaded our trusty, Hov-A-Bator Incubator and after 26 days we will have a new flock of Guinea keets. If all 35 hatch, and if you add the 10 we have already,

10+35= enough noise to rupture a ear drum,
= enough noise to drown out the loudest train,
= enough noise to turn neighbors violent,
= enough noise to make outside conversation impossible.
= enough noise that the Hubble Space Telescope would pick up the sound waves leaving earth.

They are said to do a excellent job eating ticks and other insects, and I once was a true believer.
I now have my own theory on tick control.
They don't eat enough ticks to make a difference. Instead the ticks are driven off the property, and vacate the surrounding areas to escape the noise.

So we will keep some of the 35 that hatch, and give some to people we don't like much.

Never knew that they were so noisy!
So do they or do they not eat the ticks??? Hmm. Good luck with the hatching. Love to all, Mom and Fred.
