Guinea Fowl Eat Insects
Japanese beetles were damaging the raspberries and strawberries we grow on our 12-acre gardening operation. The beetles attack late in the season, damaging plants which are growing for the next year.We went on the internet and discovered that guinea fowl have a reputation of eating just about any kind of bug. So we bought a flock of white baby guinea fowls. They've really helped. However, you should be aware that they become very raucous at anything unusual, kind of like watch dogs.
