Guineas as Watchers.

A good point about guineas is that they make a good “watch dog.” Every person who writes of these fowls mentions this point, but a good thing will bear repeating, in common with wild birds, they are always on the lookout for enemies, and quickly detect hawks, dogs, strange persons, etc., that venture near. Their wild cries on such occasions soon put the intruders to rout, and also put all the fowls on the place on their guard. If hawkß are numerous a few guineas in the flock will prove es great help In preventing their depredations.
