Guineas are the “watch dog” of the poultry world. Native to Africa, known for their distinctive appearance, loud calls, and are often raised for meat and as pest control. These funny looking birds add color and sound to any farm or barnyard. While they are not friendly or docile, they are great foragers and help to keep the insect population under control. Guinea can fly and will often roost high in trees. They can also be territorial, so it is wise to use caution when introducing new poultry to your farm if you have guineas.
