AFRICAN FRENCH GUINEA FOWL
CERTIFIED ORGANIC &  PASTURE-RAISED


Guinea Fowl originated in the dry regions of Africa, and were introduced to the United States before the Civil War. The demand for Guinea Hens is increasing as they are becoming known for their tender, lean  gourmet meat. The African French Guinea breed is often raised for meat as the birds grow twice as fast and are about 2 pounds heavier than the common Guinea Fowl. Their dark meat is demanded by many fancy restaurants and foodies. Guinea Hens have a standing reputation for their "watch dog" personalities and for their helpfulness in reducing the insect population, including ticks. The African Guinea Fowl  are one of the hardiest domestic fowl. We raise our guineas for 14 weeks on fresh pasture,  they are very noisy and fly everywhere,  we love to raise them!
