["Erdman, Jim" <ErdmanJ@uwstout.edu>]

Our neighbors across the street have had guinea fowl for 15 years or more.  
Usually they cross the road and make a tour of our yard and orchard area once 
or twice a year, and we often hear them screeching or what ever you call 
their cry.  They haven't lost many to coyotes, fox, or other critters, even 
though we do have fox, coyotes, fishers, and other interesting creatures in 
our neighborhood.  We live at the edge of a small city where suburbia is 
encroaching on small farms.
The neighbors originally got the guineas because of ticks, but I haven't 
asked them their opinion of using them for tick control in years.
