   Hi Jorgen,

   I have read that a good age to slaughter guinea fowl for meat is 16 weeks old. I have found this link which you may find useful. http://www.scribd.com/doc/36879914/Guinea-Fowl

   I think that guinea fowl lay well for about 2-3 years and then egg production drops off.

   Hope your guinea fowl are ok.
   kind regards

   Hi Sara,

   Thank you for the info it has clarified my questions.
   It was also very useful to read the Zimbabwe website.

   I spotted an other website, this time from Botswana that might be useful for others at some stage.

   Kind Regards
   Jorgen
