    Guinea Mobile Coop/Tractor

    I bought new property recently and until I build my house there, I'm using it as a garden and working on establishing a food forest. A wet spring has helped create an abundance of ticks so wondering if it's practical to tractor guineas. Just a few, to move a couple of times daily to...
