What homestead should be without these relentless "bug-busters" of the avian world? Commonly known as Guinea Hens or Guinea Fowl, Guineas out perform chickens as an effective means of tick control, including many insects. A flock of free range Guineas will cover a generous area of a large farm, and all or most of smaller tracts of land. We don't recommend having these noisy trespassing birds if you have close neighbors who are likely to have "issues" with your birds and you.

We offer the Pearl and the Lavender variety, both of which are very hardy and excellent layers. Use caution when letting hens hatch their keets; damp grass from the morning dew will chill the keets. Another hazard are the mature cocks which often peck and kill newly hatched keets. If such problems occur, collect the keets and brood indoors.

CornerStone Farm is not a commercial hatchery. We hatch quality over quantity. This practice gives our customers select young and mature stock. We do not ship day old birds, however, birds less than 5 weeks to day old can be picked up at the farm.

Prices start at:

Started Keets - $5.00

Mature Birds - $12.00

Keets - $3.00 each for pickup at the farm only; no shipping.
