We already have about 40 community guineas, or we did going in to winter last year... I think they've gotten picked off and such. They reason they're community guineas: have you ever tried keeping guineas confined to just one property? So we all just "let" them roam the 35ish acres of our 3 adjoining properties.
The tick population here is seriously reduced. I used to get them on me almost every time I went out the door, and now it's maybe a few each year. The LGDs that patrol 2 out of the 3 properties help protect the guineas from predators--otherwise, they would get picked off fairly quickly A coop is helpful, if you can train them to go in it.
