It's our last hatch of 2022 and we had some pre-orders back out so now I'm stuck with 60+ Guinea keets, hatched this past weekend. Anyone looking to add Guineas to their flock?! Priced to move quickly and will discount the more you take.

I am not set up for chickens/fowl at the moment.
I feel your pain. I once got stuck with 8o full grown Muscovys one fall.
couldn't give them away. we bit the bullet, bought a tiny freezer and butchered all of them. 10 per day until they were all in freezer camp.
guineas are my favorite bird.
just for shts and giggles, I once developed an all white flock. it took a couple of years.
what area are you located ?

We're located just northwest of Neillsville. We've been raising guineas for a few years and love them. We usually keep 30-40 adults at any given time. Our flock is mixed with all kinds of colors. My favorites are the Coral because they look like they've been painted with water color and my wife's favorite are the Royal Purples. This summer we sold a ton -- anywhere from 90-120 a week -- to the Amish and Hmong communities in our area. With our adults, plus these new keets, we are well over 90 which is too many, especially when you add up the 18 new bantams we got this week and a flock of 30ish chickens! We can only build so many coops!

Do the Hmong buy them to eat? I am guessing they do. I have 4 of them and not sure what I will do with them.

Yah a person answered and posted link with video and literature in other backyard chicken forum. Right now I do not have time to mess with it, daughter in school and she does not have time. the other chickens are starting to pick at the bird. Think I will cull it tomorrow. If I had the time I would try to fix the bird. Have my hands full with sweet corn right now.

Yep! They taste pretty good -- like a really lean chicken or pheasant. Our personal flock is mainly for pest control and eggs (and the occasional predator alarm system). In most cases, I prefer their eggs over chicken eggs, especially for baking. They are creamier due to having a higher ratio of yolk to egg white.

cool maybe i have them butchered or theres a hmong lady who has bought chickens from us. 10 dollars each? They can leave in another month or so also. Get back to a rooster and 10 or so hens.
