So, do you have to feed those guinnies, or do they just survive on the ticks ?
During the spring/fall/summer, we let them roam our property all day and eat ticks, then we round them up into the Coop at night and feed them (they're generally pretty full already at the end of the day though).
During the winter (which we can get Windchill temperatures below -50° in Minnesota), they stay in their heated Coop and Run and we feed them once a day (about double the amount of feed that they eat in the spring/fall/summer).
They just go back and forth between our front-yard, side-yard, and back-yard all day long. We've trained them to know our property borders and they stay in our yard 95% of the time. Every once in a while they'll leave our yard, but mostly only when they go to the dirt road to eat some rocks and then they just kind of follow along the road eating them. If left untrained ... they have up to a 4
mile range.
Some people people don't even build a Coop for them or feed them anything. They can easily survive without being fed if needed (although ticks are their favorite food, they'll
literally eat anything that moves: bees, spiders, ants, grasshoppers, small snakes - mice are the biggest thing I know that they'll eat).
Those that don't build a Coop generally lose some to predators though (they perch in trees as high as 40+ feet at night if they don't have a Coop, but Raccoons and other animals will still get them).
We Coop ours up at night, and have never lost one to a predator in the 3 years we've had them now.
They're definitely worth their weight in gold.
Well, do ya suppose I should use this "Deep Woods" as a mixer, maybe with a little bourbon or vodka ?
