Guinea Fowl ; Sugar Feather Farm

Guinea Fowl

Guineas are gamebirds that are great addition many situations and set-ups. Guineas are vigorous, hardy, and largely disease-free birds.

Here at Sugar Feather Farm our guinea fowl is a 40 year old flock originating in Vermont. There are many reasons we raise guinea fowl. The birds sound an alarm whenever anything unusual occurs on the farm, and they discourage rodents. Our favorite part is they are tick decimators! They are an organic pest control for your property. they can also be used for meat and lay an abundant amount of eggs.

We have some beautiful rare colors and invite you to try these birds.
