French guineas are meant to be eaten. I've been looking for some. Do you sell hatching eggs?

I have a few French Guineas. Is there something I need to know ??

Do they have a short live cycle ??

Do they fall apart like the cornish cross chicken meaties ??

So far all I have seen is that they are a bit bigger than
the other Guineas. They seem a bit more skiddish and
not quite as aggressive as the other Guineas.

???????

I don't think they have broiler problems. The reason they're prized for meat is their larger size.

They are delicious the best time to butcher them is at about 16 weeks. They are a fair bit bigger bit bigger than regular guineas. They do not fly nearly as well. Mine also lays a soft shelled egg most of the time but I am guessing this is not the norm I saved a couple from the butchering and I am down to this one. I like the other ones better just to have around. Just seem like nicer birds to me. They are very tasty.
