Hugo House Guinea Fowl Eggs
I currently have 28 adult guinea fowl that enjoy free ranging around the farm during the day. They eat a diet of grains and the daily access to the farm’s grassy pastures produces eggs with a deep yellow yolk. These eggs have a thicker shell than ordinary eggs which protects the rich and flavoursome yolk. The Hugo House guinea fowl eggs are great boiled, fried, scrambled or poached and are ideal for use in baking.
Of the 28 quinea fowl, I have reared 25 of them from hatch. I have also got another 11 guinea fowl keets that are now 5 weeks old.
I decided to market the guinea fowl eggs as a speciality egg and they are now in some shops in the local area and are beginning to sell well.

Forgive my ignorant question, Sara, but do your fowls produce eggs year-round? I’m so pleased for you that they’re selling well.

Hi Val,
Thank you for your enquiry. I am based in Yorkshire in the UK. Guinea fowl are one of my favourite types of eggs, their yolks are very yellow and rich tasting they make great boiled eggs. Unfortunately my guinea fowl have recently stopped laying regularly. They usually lay between March and September. I would be happy to send your friend some fresh guinea fowl eggs when they start laying again.
I am sorry that the guinea fowl are no longer laying.
Kind regards
Sara @ farmingfriends
