Vulturine Guinea keet

[spectrumranch]

We have our first Vulturine Guinea keet of 2009 hatched.

It is with 3 domestic guinea keets (2 pearl & 1 slate) and foster mom.

We have adults- I do not know of anyone that sells eggs from the wild type guineas.

They are taller than domestic guineas. The Vulturines are awesome birds. They are not winter hardy and need to be in heated quarters if your temps get down to freezing. They are not hard to raise - just hard to get to lay eggs.

Vulturines are not cheap- we have between $650 to $750 in each of our adult birds.​
