i have freinds that garden and sell at the farmers market and they have other chickens. Well, for Christmas, she got some guineas for a gift and was all excited about that! Well, this spring they pulled all the onions out of the garden and ate the leaves off of the tops of plants and just left them lie! She gave them back a couple of weeks ago!
