“Chickens or Guinea Fowl.”

I second that. Had property where ticks were a huge problem. The birds got rid of them in short order. Downside is that they will need a safe place to roost if you have coyotes, racoons, etc.

When I had chickens you could sit in the yard and any time a yellow fly landed on you a chicken would jump up and grab it.

It scared the crap out of people who didn't know it was coming, LOL

Free range chickens get a lot smarter than the ones Col. Sanders raises.
