Cackle Hatchery Pearl Grey Guinea - Not Sexed

Description

The Pearl Grey Guinea fowl has dark gray plumage speckled with rows of tiny white spots, giving it a beautiful and distinctive appearance. This is the traditional and most common variety of Guinea fowl. These small birds are one of the most overlooked allies you can have in your garden, orchard or pasture. Lively and alert, Guinea fowl will know when something is amiss in their territory, and they will make a racket. Despite this, they are calm and gentle toward their owners when raised from keets. They are also great foragers and will keep ticks, grubs and worms away from your grass or garden.
