Our experiance with Guineas:

1. Lousy mothers -- we had one who managed to escape the ravages of a
rogue racoon because she was hiding out with 22 eggs off in the bushes,
despite the fact that normally they went into the house at night.  After
we incubated and gave her back her babies, she led tem around the yard in
rain, before they were ready and all but 4 died.

On the other hand, our neighbour's guinea not only does a good job with
her babies, but also adopts the baby chickens.

3.  They most definately do handle the ticks.
