5 have taken up residence in our yard and I would like them to stay around for Bug season. What should I feed them on a daily basis? Wild Bird Seed? Cracked corn? Should I go the Co-Op and get some sort of regular chicken food?

I would suggest you go to Co-op and ask there which poultry food would be best for your guineas. Perhaps they will incubate eggs next spring (if you have a rooster guinea and then you'll have more bug eaters. Do you have a place for them to roost such as a small building that you could build a few nests in? Fill with straw for nesting. The bad thing is the eggs will be stolen by possums or skunks if you aren't careful. Or weasels will get the babies. Ask questions at the Co-op.

There is a feed with sun flower and other seeds in it. I think it is called game something. it's better for them. We feed ours scratch feed and laying mash and the game stuff if we get it. Also if you decide to let them run around make sure to have them pined up for a week or so first. They may run off and they will know where to roost.

Go to your local farm and garden store or feed store they will be able to help you pick out food for them if they are good at their job.
