French Pearl Guinea Fowl
$7.00Guinea fowl are well known for their “watch dog” personalities. They are alert, noisy when disturbed, and quick to notice changes around the property. This makes them useful for customers who want birds that can help alert the flock or household to unusual activity.
They are also valued for insect population reduction, especially ticks. This makes French Pearl Guineas useful around farms, rural homes, pastures, orchards, and large yards where customers want poultry that can help forage for insects.
Hatchery Choice Guinea
$7.00Guinea fowl are known for their upright posture, spotted or solid feather patterns, and strong flock instincts. They are highly alert birds and are often described as natural “watchdogs” due to their loud calls when something unusual occurs. Guinea fowl prefer to roost high, often choosing trees when allowed to free range.
Guinea hens lay small, dark, speckled eggs, producing approximately 60–100 eggs per year. While not bred strictly for egg production, they offer a steady seasonal supply.

White African Guinea
$6.00Guinea fowl make excellent farmyard “watch dogs.” They are loud, alert, and quick to react when something different enters their area.
This category describes guineas as some of the best watch birds for sounding off when human or animal intruders come into their territory. That alert nature can make them useful around farms, acreages, barns, gardens, and homesteads.
However, customers should understand that the same alert calling that makes guineas useful can also make them noisy. If you have close neighbors or noise restrictions, consider your setup before ordering.
