I was so happy to learn a new defense against ticks. Turkeys eat ticks as do possums, chickens, and guinea fowl. When I was at the Regenerate Texas meeting at Roam Ranch this weekend, I learned that raising fowl is an organic method of controlling ticks. I love all bugs except ticks. This is good news. Several years ago, I found a deer tick on my shoulder and had to take massive antibiotics.
