I can guarantee you that the local cats WILL target bobwhites. So will fox and any other predator available in the area. Can't you just get a pet duck?

Subject: [NAFEX] guinea fowl noise reports?
Our imperial suburban town told me this afternoon fowl or rabbits have to have permit, which I am contemplating complying with. They even send an inspector. Another idea other than guinea fowl is to release Bobwhite quail. They'd be less noisy than guineas; but I haven't much confirmation they'd eat ticks, which is the main point of keeping fowl. There's reports of guineas being susceptible to roaming house cats, but I only see one house cat occasionally, and occasional losses would be sustainable. Apparantly releasing the Bobwhite would be the least labor-intensive poultry activity, but whether they'd stay in the area depends on terrain factors I don't understand. And I don't have confirmation they'd eat ticks. Would appreciate hearing from those of you who have had poultry.
