I think that the second type of bird that I would put on my homstead would proably be a few guinea fowl.
Guinea fowl are native to Africia, and when they firs hatch out of there eggs they are called Keets. The Keets do not have developed feathers yet and they need to be kept at 95 degrees. During this time they should be kept in the chicken coop, which they need to be kept ther for 6-10 weeks so they can learn where "home" is.
After the first ten weeks, they will just be like another one of your chickens. Except they do a beter job at eating the bugs.
