 Sorry, but I paid $4 for each keet and I'm not about to go and sell them when they should go for $20-30 from all the feed, shavings, and time I've spent taking care of them.

Wow, really... $4 for adult Guineas, or for keets? If you got adult Guineas for that price, the store owner must have been tired of all the noise they make and wanted them out of there ASAP, lol.

 

$4 for an adult Guinea is unheard of out here in CA, unless you are buying 1000 at a time, lol.

The local feed store charges $6 for guinea keets fresh from the hatchery shipment. If you get adults for that or less, it's amazingly cheap. If you want to rehome them, you must make a classified ad.

 

 

 

I assume you were asking about correct pricing here, but if this is your ad, we need to close the thread. wink.png

Nope, not an ad. I've had about 30 people E-mail and call about buying the guineas in the last 2 months. Have any of those people called back?? HECK NO!

 

Just really gets me gears going when they say they are going to be out here a certain time and day and they never show up. Unless someone comes and buys them then I guess I'm going to keep them because I'm not giving them away for cheap food.
