Vet down the road from where I grew up had them. Beautiful bird, and they would tear up snakes!

Grandma always had them, they do catch a mouse or two (but so will free range chickens and such), they do terrorize small snakes, they are very tasty, they are very-very noisy, and they will scratch the heck out of any vehicle they can get on. I think I like them, they would be a nice addition to my arsenal to po the nosey blue hairs and ordinance enforcement folks around here.

We have one that showed up at our place in Erath county. It hangs out with the turkeys. Hasn't done anything yet to wear out its welcome. Not sure about his snake killing abilities. Apparently he is not hanging around our barn because we just found 39 rattlesnakes not 30 yds from our pole barn and campers.

Originally posted by txpitdog View PostI raised half a dozen guinea hens when I lived in the country. I heard they were great guard animals as they would supposedly make a racket if a car or animal they didn’t recognize approached the house. Well yes, they did make a racket when that would happen but they would also make a racket all times if the day. I shot them all out of an oak tree one morning and fed them to my dogs.

Originally posted by BBReezen View PostCats are much better than peacocks . I have never heard that they keep snakes and mice away, but I guess it's possiible. Some neighbors we had next to property my grandma owns used to have them, you would be deer hunting one morning and hear "HHHHEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWW" about every few minutes. It got old real quick
