Is anyone raising French Guineas?

Post by PlumHollow » Thu Feb 18, 2016 4:39 pm

Last year we got french guinea fowl from Performance Poultry. They grew fast and got to about 4 lbs in 14 weeks - much bigger than traditional guineas. I would like to have them again this year but Performance Poultry is sold out. Can I get day-olds or hatching eggs from anyone here?

I overwintered 7 french guineas, will try and breed them in the spring.

Plus I have already contacted Carmen at Carfio hatchery in Quebec, near Montreal about placing another order for day old keets, plus day old chukar partridges.

She said they will be emailing out 2016 price list in March.

Last year I ordered 50 keets from them. I will be placing an order again this year and driving up to pick them up.
