Absolutely. Fowl of all kinds are great but rather ugly especially up close

I disagree with them being ugly, there's a certain adorable quality to turkeys, and especially quail.

They -are- stupid as hell though in a domestic sense. There's a switch in their brain that seems to turn off if they're raised on a farm.

Even that's endearing, in a roundabout way.

Oh, and endearing and ugly are not contradictory

Oh yes. Quite endearing! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I have them. They just remind me a lot of Heihei.

Good aggresive watch dogs if you need a lookout for predators, sometimes too good and too loud most of the time. But very good eating :)

I love all my animals, but those guinea hens have got to be the stupidest animals on earth. They panic more than the chickens. They're kind of ugly too. But, what is a hobby farm without a menagerie?
