Guinea...NOT a chicken!!
On the blog Guineas were listed as all sold, but we now have some in the store for sale. Get them while they last. You can always place a pre-paid special order. These birds do better in a flock. They are $6.99 each.
Baby
guineas, called keets, are about as adorable as they sound and easy to tend.
But once they grow older they are worthy watchdogs, fighting off trespassers
both human and animal alike. Guinea fowl
make good farm animals: their tastiness, their relatively low-maintenance
lifestyles, their vigilance at keeping away predators. Guinea fowl make an
interesting and colorful addition to your flock and are very useful on the farm
to alert and protect other animals from predators.
In addition
to providing home-security help, guinea fowl are valued as one of the best
exterminators of pest insects, making them a complement to any backyard garden.
Since guineas prefer to mobilize in tight-knit groups, don’t be alarmed when
they don’t understand the nuances of property lines and roadways.
They
free-range and will naturally roost in trees if left without a shelter to sleep
in. They are also tick-eating machines.
