How To Raise Guinea Fowl | Smart Farm: Guinea fowl rearing | Guinea farming

There are many benefits to raising guinea fowl. These unusual birds act as guards, alerting you with lots of noise whenever a human stranger, wild animal, or snake approaches. Although some writers claim that they tend to leave your plants alone while foraging for insects, many gardeners have not found that to be the case. They'll eat your veggies, so bird netting or other protection over your crops is advisable. On farms and homesteads, they are valuable because they eat ticks--in fact, ticks are their favorite food, and a flea-infested property can quickly become tick-free with their help. Given the number of diseases that ticks can carry, the guineas' taste for that insect makes them worth the bird netting around crops. They also provide delicious eggs and tasty and nutritious meat. Adult guinea fowl are fairly low-maintenance, although raising keets (baby guineas) is much more involved. If you decide to raise guineas, make sure you know what's involved before you get started.
