Benefits of breeding guinea fowls:
- These birds are a great 'watch dogs'. Although these birds are quiet most of the time, they make cackling sounds when something alerts them.
- They are excellent bug killers. Guinea fowls won't harm any flowers but instead protect them from insects. While chickens may tend to scratch and tear up plants, guineas move about a garden without touching a single leaf while picking off grasshoppers and other critters.
- They are excellent food for consumption. Despite their eggs being half the size of chiken eggs, their eggs have a more flavorsome and sweeter taste than chicken eggs. Their meat is excellent too with low on calories and an exceptionally high 50/50 yield between meat and bone.
- They are easy to raise. Their diet consists mainly of 90 percent bugs and weed seeds. They can be feed once or twice a day and adult guinea fowls need little care and will thrive on regular feeding daily.
