Description
Figures of the Guinea Fowl are found on buildings built by ancient Egyptians as far back as 2400’s B.C. In 400 B.C. the Greeks considered the meat and eggs delicacies.The origin of the Guinea is the West Coast of Africa.
The guinea makes a very good watch dog and will let you know if an intruder is around. They are also known to be good tick and bug eaters. Guinea fowl are very hard to sex by sight. The males utter a one-syllable call, usually repeated several times in succession (chit, chit, chit). The females utter a two-syllable call, usually repeated several times in succession (buck-wheat, buck-wheat, buck-wheat, buck-wheat). Guinea fowl normally hide their nests and then show up with many little keets when allowed to free range. They like to roost high in trees.
Cackle Hatchery® is currently selling the following color varieties of Guinea keets: White, Lavender, Pearl, and Royal Purple Guineas. You can view and order these online and in our catalog. Place an order today for your local 4H and FFA student who want to show or breed them.

Iron bridge Ranch –
Loved our guineas and chickens we received
We did lose one of the lavender guineas the first day and one lavender guinea the next day. Out of 25 fowl, those were our only losses. We lost none of the chickens or any of the white guineas we received.

Great job
I received 2 shipments all but 1 out of over 70+ arrived alive but within 24 hours I lost alot of them. With the unbearable heat, i believe they just got too warm.

Lavendar Guineas
We raised ours on their own and not with chickens. They are cool and pretty but have no boundaries. They jump on cars, roofs, hot tub… They also didn’t understand they should be scared of dogs since our dog is really nice. They travelled over to the neighbors and a couple were killed by their dog. Not the dogs fault they were his yard. I like them but they are a lot of work. We did get more than we ordered and lost 2 babies.
