Guinea Hens
French Guinea -breeders have for many generations, intently
selected this variety for rapid growth and for year round
production of eggs. French Guineas, when fed a high energy,
high protein ration similar to broiler feed, will weigh in excess
of 4 pounds at 13 weeks of age.
They will lay throughout the year with proper light and heat control. They are very active
and easy to raise. After about 4 weeks of age, they require very little attention and will take
care of themselves by hustling for their food. Some of the benefits of having a farm flock of
guineas are as follows: very fine "watch dogs", keep snakes away from the farm and consume
grasshoppers, ticks (including those which carry Lymes Disease) and other insects.
