How could one order a hundred guinea hens for $200 shipped? Is this a birds-as-a-service model where you rent birds for farming? A genuine question.

Here’s an example. The guinea hens eat the bugs and aggressively chase rattlesnakes out, and then coyotes and hawks eat the hens. Like most things it’s a mixed blessing because the snakes keep the rodent and rabbits population in check.
