French Guineas

[Mrs. Fluffy Puffy]

What do the keets/adults look like? Any other info would be great! Thank you!

The look just like the regular pearl guineas, just larger. They only come in one color, unless that has recently changed. I believe my hen, Mousse, was a French. She was so much larger than the others.
Here she was with the lavenders and as an adult.

I have french keets coming this week from JM Hatchery -- I will post a pic when they arrive.

Thanks, I'm fixing to order some from Ideal Poultry and they're not cheap. I thinking about maybe ... 30? I'm gonna split them with a friend.

I just got my keets about 36 hours ago... here's some pictures for you...

Hope that gives you an idea. They're fun, playful little things that love to dogpile in a corner or peck at their reflection in the mirror.

Jes,

I actualy tryed to order them last year but they were sold out. I then contacted a breeder friend of mine and he hatched me out 20 keets. 10 for me and 10 for a friend. I would like to get some French guineas, b/c they are supposed to be larger and have a longer laying season than the normal guineas. However, for the moment I'm hatching out my own.
