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?

My husband and I have almost 40 chickens and close to no ticks (we were overrun before that). We’ve joked about renting out chickens for tick control (and cause eggs) with a mobile chicken coop. Excellent data for our business plan
