Some people are asking how to rear GUINEA FOWL.
Let me share the best practices for guinea fowl production.
#NaijaFarmerTips
Guinea fowl are mostly disease-free birds & good security
Guinea Fowl are better security than dogs & turkey.
They're an amazing pest control against rodents, mice & snakes.
They're so nutritious & the eggs are super nice
Guinea fowl is an amazing animal to keep & rear.
Dey with me... You're about to learn something valuable!
Guinea are good watchdogs, they sound alarm whenever anything unusual occurs on the farm
They're an effective tool for protecting house ” The loud noise of the guineas has been shown to discourage rodents from invading the area
Flocks of guineas will k¥!! mice, small rats & eat
They're good insects control
Wild guineas e@t mainly insects & domestic guineas can consume large amounts of insects without affecting garden vegetables or flowers
If you're thinking of backyard farm guinea fowl is the animal to rear.
They repel snake
Adult guinea hen lay one egg per day
To avoid guineas from wandering you must keep them in covered pens
Guineas are able to fly at a very early age and they become strong fliers able to fly 500 ft.
It takes guineas a while to get settled into a new home
It is best to keep them confined for a week or 2 to let them become accustomed to their new home
If you let them out right away, they could run away
The guineas should be confined in a pen where they can see the area where they will be living. After an initial couple of weeks, let one guinea out
Guineas hate to be alone so the single guinea won't go far & will learn its way around the area
After few days, let a second guinea out. If they stay near the pen, it is usually safe to let the rest out
Always provide water for them
They can be fed commercial poultry diet
Guineas usually start laying in March or April & may continue to lay until October
A hen may lay over 100 eggs a year
Guinea hens don't always make good mothers
Chicken hens tend to be much better mothers & can hatch Guinea eggs for you
A guinea hen will lay an egg a day.
If the eggs are removed from the nest, she will likely make a nest somewhere else
If all but 4 eggs (marked for identification) are removed, she may return to the same nest & continue laying. Eggs can be collected daily with no problems
My favorite part of guinea fowl - their head and legs (added to some condiment) can be used for goodluck charm
If you want to start, buy the Egg from local market, put under a brooding Chicken hen
She'll hatch it for you.
They're lovely animal to rear
