White Guinea Keets are solid white and are a mutation of Pearl Guineas. They are used for meat production and exhibition. Their feathers are solid white with red facial features. They have white skin and all-white meat that is very tasty and similar to chicken white meat. There are many benefits to keeping guineas. Their screeching call makes them good “watchdogs” and they keep snakes away and consume grasshoppers, ticks (including those which carry Lyme Disease), and other insects.
These birds are one of the most overlooked allies you can have in your garden, orchard, or pasture for their helpfulness in reducing the insect population, including ticks. Lively and alert, Guinea Keets will let you know when something is amiss in their territory, and they will make a lot of racket. They are calm and gentle toward their owners when raised from keets and are known for their unique ornamental value. After the keets have grown past two weeks old, they are one of the hardiest domestic fowl.
