Articles about Keeping Guinea Fowl.

The domesticated Guninea Fowl has kept much of it's wild nature and many poultry keepers are starting to keep a few Guineas. Guinea Fowl are great at removing bugs from the garden and don't scratch the ground like chickens so don't make as much of a mess.

Guinea Fowl are excellent flyers and can fly almost vertically up over a 6ft tall fence with ease. A wing can be clipped to stop them flying but Guinea Fowl do need a reasonable area in which to roam so a large run or free range of the garden is usually best for them.

Guineas are good watchdogs and will start to become very vocal if something unusual comes into their environment. They are always alert and very watchful and get used to their owners and their family but if there's a predator or even a stranger nearby, they will start to create a lot of noise so make a good alarm system.
