Guinea Fowl

Guinea fowl are sometimes raised as livestock for their meat and eggs. Guinea fowl are hardy birds native to Africa, and are prized for their delicious meat and flavorful eggs. They are also considered to be low maintenance birds, as they are able to forage for their own food and do not require special housing or feeding arrangements. Guinea fowl are often raised in free-range or semi-free-range systems, and are often used as a more sustainable and natural alternative to traditional poultry species.
