Book Reviews of Gardening with Guineas: A Step-By-Step Guide to Raising Guinea Fowl on a Small Scale
Book Review: O.k., but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this book in preparation for raising some guinea keets I received from a friend. As a gardener, I was particularly interested in their function as an "organic insecticide".
The information was sufficient, but not well-written or proof-read, more like a newspaper article. Not enough focus on the gardening aspect, other than that they like certain bugs that harm flowers and veggies. The taming process described is impossible to achieve if you have other things to do than playing with the birds. It is not necessary to keep them caged in the chicken coop for 6 weeks - mine are roaming the chicken yard at 6 weeks old with a bantam hen that adopted them. They stick very close to the coop.
All the information presented can be found on the internet without having to shell out almost 15 bucks.
