My guinea fowl feed daily on a mix of;
- layers pellets &
- wheat

When they free range they also eat;
- apples
- sugar beet
- fodder beet
- seeds
- nettles
- grass
- insects
- berries
- grain
I have found that my guinea fowl like to feed in the open so that they can flock together.

When they wander into the vegetable garden they like to eat;
- lettuce
- cabbage &
- runner beans

Guinea fowl keets (chicks) eat;
- chick crumbs &
- they love lettuce

Our internet group would love to hear about guineas in your country and how you manage to keep from losing them to predators when they roost in trees and live outside 24/7. Please visit us at www.guineafowl.com/board and tell us more about how you raise your guineas.

Thanks for passing this information onto my readers. When I first got guinea fowl I read all about guinea fowl on the fritsfarm website and that inspired me to set up a site for the British guinea fowl enthusiast.
Thanks for taking the time to leave this comment.

We have had many years of expereince rearing pheasants and partridge, and have kept ducks, and peacocks. So most is not new to us, but we welcome any advice for our venture from anyone, plus information on where we can buy keets, to start us off.

I am currently writing an e-book on raising guinea fowl which will be available soon – I will let you know when. In the meantime my guinea fowl category has lots of information about keeping guinea fowl.
Can I ask how many keets you are wanting to set up with as I may be able to hatch the keets for you or know someone who can depending on the numbers?
If you email me specific questions I will try to answer them for you, so don’t hesitate to ask any question relating to guinea fowl rearing.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for the information. They really love crickets, but crickets are so hard to catch.
