Grassfed Meats and Pastured Poultry

Guinea Hens

        They arrived only a couple days old, we hand raised them until they were able to stand the normal outdoor weather. Today they wander aimlessly to find the next big batch of bugs to eat. They may wander into our neighbors yard, but they eat their bugs too! Most of the time they stay rather close to their hut that we left for them– we sprinkle a little millet in there each night to keep them coming back to us!
