I have a couple of polish hens and they are so cute. The rooster is our alpha even if he isn’t the biggest one in the yard. That polish rooster struts like he’s 10 feet tall 😂 and takes his guarding job seriously. I’m may get one of these boxes at some point because it looks like so much fun.
You'll be happy with having a few guineas. Just let them free range around the yard to go after the ticks. Just figure they are more skittish, but since you raised they will be imprinted to your place.
I trained my guineas to sleep in the hen house and roam during the day. It took about 10 weeks of them being locked up in the poulet brooder inside the hen house.
