    Buying Guinea Fowl..??

    No problem, but keets have to be "homed" to whatever pen or coop you put them into. It takes about six weeks. The keets will need to be put in a brooder with controlled temperatures for about six weeks, and then put in their pen or coop for the same amount of time so they can learn where home...

    I'm in NW GA, and I have one Pearl Gray male I'd like to re-home. He's about 5 - 6 months old. I have one male too many, and he's it. No keets yet, but I'll have some late spring/early summer...I hope. :). PM me if you're interested in the male.

    Buying Guinea Fowl..??

    You can try Craigslist or ebay, but they'll be harder to find until spring. Guineas are normally seasonal layers - from spring to fall. Winter months are going to be slower. If it were me, I'd be patient and wait for spring when there are plenty to be found. They're easier to brood up in the...
