For anyone interested, I wanted to share my experience with the rare species of Guineafowl such as Vulturines and Crested. Check out my website for more information on keeping and breeding them.

I have 2021 Pure Indian Blue Peafowl available. 3 pairs and 2 extra males left. These are wild type bloodlines, 100% Indian Blue $300/pair or $150 each for extra males.
2021 Import lineage Lady Amherst's males available. I am out of females. These are as pure as you will find them, out of...
Seems to be a hard breed to find now. If anyone in NC or neighboring states are breeding them, please let me know. They must be the giant African Dewlaps. Thanks.
The hen is 4 yrs old, and the male has just hit breeding age, 2 yrs. He is a bit wild, but will eat from your hand. She is much more gentle, and used to let me rub her. I haven't tried in a while. Neither are aggressive towards people, but would not make good pets for small children. It will...
Here are my first two Cassowary chicks of the year. More are on the way I never know how the season is going to go for these little guys, they are extremely hard to hatch.
Anyone else breeding good quality Black Sumatras? I run across people that have them, but I can see poor genetics in them, red faces/combs... etc. I would like to trade eggs maybe, or trade birds for new bloodlines to pair with mine. Here are a few pics of my birds.

Im looking for a Brinsea Octagon 250 Incubator. Has anyone ever used one of these for Ratite eggs? I dont think Brinsea still makes them, but I have read many good reviews but also many negative.
Just curious to see what kind of rare ornamental birds you guys have out there. Feel free show off your species that are hard to come by. Below are a few of mine.
Double Wattled Cassowaries
Kenya Crested Guinea
Reichenow's Helmeted Guinea
Zambezi Crested Guinea
2012 Hatch Reichenows Helmeted Guineas. These are a true wild species of Guinea Fowl, are much less noisy, and have beautiful blue heads. They have the largest helmet of any species. They tolerate cold fairly well, but in extreme climates they will need shelter and possibly heat. They are very...
We need to start doing more to get rid of the Humane Society, along with Peta. Each year they are getting closer and closer to passing laws that will take what we love away from us. They are constantly trying to pass new laws making it stricter and harder for us to keep pets that many of us...
This is a male Kenya Crested Guinea, and a pair of Reichenow's (true wild) Guineafowl. Both are extremely rare in the US, and the Crested are almost gone.
This light works well for my cassowary eggs, but i've tried it on emu eggs and it works enough to tell if somethings in it or not, it's super bright. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_9-Bulb-LED-Flashlight-Performance-Tools_10090078-P_N3092_A%7CGRP2027_____
The first 2 pictures are a subspecies of the wild Helmeted Guineafowls in Africa called Reichenow's Guineafowl. They have the largest helmets of all the helmeted Guineas. All the wild species of Helmeted have blue heads, and these are what common domesticated Guineas came from. This is a younger...
Just thought I would show off some pics of my Cassowaries. Not many people know what they are, or realize that there are actually a few in captivity. They are the second largest of the ratite family, emu's are only taller, but not as heavy built. Female Cassowaries easily get 200 lbs. They are...
