Guinea fowl are typically raised for meat, but they can also be kept as guard animals. They are very vocal when anything new enters the farm yard and have a loud call that makes them excellent guard birds. Guinea fowl have also been used as a natural method for controlling ticks, especially in areas where Lyme disease is a problem.
Guinea fowl can be kept in small farm flocks for four to five years. Hens usually lay about 30-50 eggs and then go broody, with an incubation period of 26 to 28 days.
