Guinea Fowl originated in the dry regions of Africa, and were introduced to the United States before the Civil War. The demand for Guinea Hens is increasing as they are becoming known for their tender, lean meat. The breeding stock of these Guinea Fowl are imported from France. This French Guinea breed is often raised for meat as the birds grow twice as fast and are about 2 pounds heavier than the common Guinea Fowl. Their dark meat is demanded by many restaurants. Guinea Hens have a standing reputation for their "watch dog" personalities and for their helpfulness in reducing the insect population, including ticks. The delicately speckled eggs hatch into young birds called "keets." Keets mature into birds known for their unique ornamental value. After the keets have grown past two weeks old, they are one of the hardiest domestic fowl.
