RE: [CHICKENS-101] Re: The Guineas are coming, The Guineas are coming!

 

FYI, we had a Hispanic contractor at our farm a few years ago and he was very excited about being able to buy my Guinea eggs.  They were the kind of eggs he ate in his country.  I have had several requests for Guinea eggs for eating.  I was using them for our family cooking until I got an incubator and decided to incubate and hatch.  In the meantime, the adult Guineas grew tired of me taking their eggs, so they started hiding them.  Hence, the pair with 16 keets in tow on Saturday.

Hi Ron: Guinea fowl are basically chickens except being
closer to the wild. They require just about everything chickens need, with a twist. They talk a lot among them selves and may or may not accept you into their flock. You wouldn't raise them for eggs except to sell them $$$$ as hatching eggs. They do need winter shelter in the colder climates, they don't do well in the snow, however they might just roost on the ridge of barn roof in warm weather.
