| Guinea Fowl have been kept in captivity and used by man
for many years. The ancient Romans considered the meat and eggs a delicacy.
Large numbers are still farmed and consumed in Europe and elsewhere.
Woodfield Gamebirds rear a small number of guinea fowl annually but may expand
the operation in the future.
In the wild guinea fowl exist on a diet of insects, plant material and berries.
It is said that they are very efficient at keeping wasp numbers low.
Guinea fowl also suit a large garden setting where they will spend their
days fossicking for insects and other food. They tend not to wander from
a property returning every night to roost in the same tree or shed. They
live quite happily with other birds including domestic poultry.
Guinea fowl are very suitable for release in game areas and are hunted
extensively in Africa, their native country.
Price: Guinea fowl poults $15.50 + GST.
