Vulturine Guinea Fowl

[flyingdragon]

Where can one find vulturine guinea fowl for sale? I have been considering peafowl as an ornamental. Any other suggestions for ornamental poultry?

Wow, I don't know but they are bizarre looking!This place http://www.guineafarm.com/descriptions.html has a lot of the rare colors, but no Vulturine or crested. There is 1 place listed on the breeders list at GFIA http://www.guineafowlinternational.org/breeders/ Apparently they're a popular zoo animal. Who knew, Guineas at the zoo!

edited to add: I'm assuming you're in the states. I don't know of anything outside the US, sorry.

I heard they are really expensive and considering they look like viscous preditors, I said,'keep them.' But you probably did good to make this post topic. I'm sure eventually someone will put you in touch with the right person.

the spectrum ranch had a thread on theirs a few months back. they are beautiful but not cold hardy.

I am thinking of buying a pair from my local breeder.
Just wondering are they ok to free range during the day, or have they to be penned in all the time.

As expensive as they are, I wouldn't let them out to free range.
