FAQs

Are guinea fowl considered poultry?

Yes, guinea fowl are considered poultry; they are domesticated birds raised similarly to chickens and turkeys for their meat, eggs, and feathers.

How many guinea fowl should I start with?

It is best to start with a small flock of at least two to five guinea fowl, as they are social birds that thrive in groups and this helps manage their behaviour and wellbeing.

Do guinea fowl keep rats away?

No, guinea fowl do not effectively keep rats away or control their populations; while they are very alert and noisy, they will only alert you to the presence of rats rather than deter or kill them.

What are common problems with guinea fowl?

Common issues with guinea fowl include their loud noise which can be disturbing to neighbours, their habit of laying eggs in random places making collection difficult, their tendency to bully other poultry, and challenges in mixing them with other birds as they prefer to keep to themselves.
