Folks have been talking about the different fowl they have like chickens, Guinea Fowl, and ducks. They seem to be pretty good at eating insects. I didn't have any fowl until I looked out the door earlier and saw these. Do turkeys eat insects?

It was kinda funny because when I saw them, I rushed to get my camera. They were a good distance from the house so I had to use telephoto. While I was loading them to photobucket, I looked outside and they were right in front of my front door.

Guineas, I have read, will do a number on squashbugs and stinkbugs. Apparently, that's their favorite. I also read that they don't bother the vegetables like chicken and turkeys. All three eat grass. I would LOVE to get my hands on about 10 guinea hens and keep in the garden all summer long. Oh but they would get FAT here! I just worry about the neighbors dogs. That and I would have to do some heavy persuation on the DH. 
We also get lots of hawks and falcons around here. As well as racoons and foxes. IDK... I still want them. And chicken hens, too! 
...and somegoats, too!
...and while I'm at it... Maybe some children, too. I hear they can be cheaply bribed into yardwork
