How do you deal with crops & the fowl? I gave up on chickens as pest control, except as an end-of-season 'run through and destroy' method. Our ducks (muscovies for slug control) don't seem to like much in the way of vegetables. Much to my surprise, as long as I put reemay over the lettuce, they leave most everything else alone, even the spinach. Are guinea fowl as discriminating?

Get yourself some Guinea Fowl.  I have 8 of them, and they keep the grasshoppers under control, or at least keep the numbers way down at my place.
