I will concede that my experience with chickens and geese on asparagus was with freshly planted asparagus roots. not a well established field. I will take everyone's word for it and put some chickens on our older asparagus patch and see..
Now, let's talk about guineas.
I know, there are endless articles about how wonderful they are for eating your weed seed and insects but I want to hear from you vegetable growers with guineas. Your guineas don't eat your broccoli?
They don't damage your tomatoes?
They don't peck at your peppers?
I would like to hear from people who seriously grow vegetables and also have a dozen or so guineas running around. and are happy with the combination.

Regards to the list:
I have seen our chickens and guineas jump up and eat beetles off the
asparagus. I've never seen them eat any asparagus.
We mow between the asparagus rows.
