I've given up on letting my fowl free range. They terrorise the chooks and while they don't dig up plants they can make a mess of a nice, tidy mulched flower bed. That and their noise and the way they lay their eggs all through the bush. They're in a yard now with a roof over it and perches to sleep on. There's something cute about fowl running around the garden but in the end it's not worth it.

I know what you mean about terrorising the garden. We don't have guinea fowl but the big chooks don't get let out anymore because all the hard work in the garden isn't going to be messed up! I grow spinach which they get a lot of and all the weeds which is never-ending.
