Royal Purple Guinea

Royal Purple Guineas are usually raised for pest control, foraging, alert behavior, ornamental value, and farmyard utility. They may lay seasonal eggs, but customers usually do not choose them as primary egg-laying birds.

Guinea eggs are smaller than many chicken eggs and have thick shells. However, Royal Purple Guineas are most valuable for outdoor usefulness, not steady egg production.

In addition, guineas have strong flock instincts and usually do best in a group. A single guinea may be stressed, noisy, or difficult to manage, while a group can behave more naturally and work together as a watchful flock.
