Yes, predators have been a problem for guineas more than anything else we’ve had. Hawks have been bad for our chicks this year, but few guineas have made it free ranging. The guinea that has been here the longest goes to the coop every night except when she goes broody.
it’s still worth having them to keep the ticks down. They do a better job than our chickens.
I think that is how I could best market them.
I I don’t intend to eat them, I have much less hesitation about feeding them from a commercial waste stream. Especially if it goes through black soldier flys first.
