[lcw1995]

i would like a place that ships, were the keets are cheaper than $5 ea. have multiple colors and have a low minimum order.
ive done a search but couldnt find any below $5 ea.
so if you guys could help me out i would greatly appreciate it.

Why not place a "wanted; guineas" ad on Craig's List, Farm and Garden section? A lot of people sell their keets online and people like me who will have them this spring often take orders in advance. It's always better to buy your keets from someone local. Shipping is very hard on keets and a lot of them won't survive it. Buying local also allows you to get as few or as many as you want.
You can also ask at local feed stores. They know who is always buying feed for their birds!

They don't have multiple colors only French Guineas, but there only $3.50 each: http://www.jmhatchery.com/hens/french-guinea-keets/prod_1.html

The place to go with out a doubt is Ralph Winters http://www.guineafarm.com/ . If you want colors order ASAP to give Ralph as much heads up as possible. You can also check GFIA to see if anything is available through members of Guinea Fowl International Assocation in a great resource if you have guineas.

I am also looking to buy guinea keets. I am near Mount Olive, NC. I had Guinea fowl on my Grandfather's property and would love to have them at my home as well. We are planning on converting our chain link dog kennel into a coop for them. Any advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Sometimes your local feed store will get in keets - Not sure if they are in your area, but Tractor Supply or Southern States!

I'm in Chatham County, NC and looking for Guinea hens for two acres of land. I don't know how many I would need to handle ticks.

Two acres can handle quite a few, but always allow for predation. can I suggest you start with 12? The problem you will have is getting just 12 as babies need at 20 to 25 for body heat to ship. Sometimes local feed stores will get them in or you can hatch your own, buying fertile eggs. I am taking orders and waiting for our girls to have "spring fever" here in Maryland! See my posting above if you have interest.
