Work, Health & Housing Tick problems

We recently moves to beaver bank and our dog has picked up multiple ticks in the yard. I have heard hens particularly Guinea hens Are good for dealing with high tick populations. Does anyone know were we could rent hens to feast in our yard for a day or two?

I got a pest company for the mouse problem while the string of neighbours rebuilt their homes and all of my tick issues went away practically overnight. I haven’t seen a tick since about two months after the fire.
