I often get comments from readers who think they might like guineas.
While guineas are interesting to look at,
and are quite comical to watch,
they are also quite boisterous!
(a quality that makes them a good "watch-bird" for a farm)
I would suggest that you might want to have enough acreage to provide
a buffer zone between your home and your guineas'....
as this video will illustrate.
(turn up your volume... loud...guineas only have one setting....loud!)

The good news is...
guineas eat insects...
especially ticks.
And for those of you who have had the misfortune of a stink bug influx,
I am told they also eat these smelly pests.
In all seriousness,
I don't mind the sound of the guineas.
And while I do notice them,
I am quite used to their "song."
PS: We seem to have succeeded in raising a "smart" group of guineas.
Most of them are still roosting in the henhouse at night...
out of the weather and protected from predators.

The farm is two doors down from us and we hear the Guineas doing their nut, geese honking , ducks, roosters crowing , hens doing their nut as well and all kinds of animals every day ! I love it . Have a good day !
Enjoy your day!!
Do they make this noise all day or just when alarmed?
I can see where you would suggest a bigger space for them....
I hear them..Why can't I find them??".Poor thing..Hope you're having a good day..Brrr
Wishing you a wonderful week.
Thanks so much for sharing this Bev.
