Just like the title says... I'm about to get a chicken tractor, and since I'm in the south and have already had several snake incidents so far this year, I thought about adding some guineas to the mix. I've read that they seem to do decent with chickens, but I was wondering if anyone on here had first hand experience raising chickens and guineas together?

Had some show up at the base of a bird feeder when I was younger. Holy crap they are loud. Neighbor said they were a better alarm system that the dog.

And the monkey presses the button.

I think if you raise them together from chicks, should be no problem. Not sure about throwing adults in together....
