Guinea hens will help eating the bugs without destroying the crops but its far from a silver bullet. Its more becouse you want them around as pets than anything else.

As far as sub-division its likely best to make custom plots according to what the customer wants. Just dont forget about a water source
guinea hens are feather coated bastards as far as I'm concerned.

Came cross a youtube vid. . The guy keeps some bantoms in his flock. Let's them in his garden couple times a week. Sez their shredding is minimal as they are more bug focused.

Different birds act differently

The birds go after the best stuff first, than go after the rest, but eventually they will do damage

Limiting their time in the area likely works well for a period of time, but setting up a fence can be a job and a half

Saw a fence that works for the hybrid, basically wingless birds, 3' plastic fencing, 1" post bout every 12', long spike on post. Size run to shift once a week. Collapse and drag. 2 peeps can move a decent sized one ok, 1 peep can move a small one w/o much hassle.

3' is very short for chickens I have some standard breeds that can fly 8-10' without problems. Even my oldest fatest hens have no problems flying over a 4' fence.

I have seen the 'light moveable fenceing like your talking about in some poultry magazines, Their usually electric. Personally I would wind up annoyed constantly moveing the thing and just wind up putting something permanent
