New to solo farm life, looking for guineas

[Heathervanessa]

I recently inherited my mommas house in Clover, SC. Before she and my stepdad got sick they had at least 10 guineas and tons of chickens. I would love to be able to find some guineas to start off with until we are living here full time. Currently we come down every weekend. Any idea on where I can find some guineas?

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

You could look in our Buy/Sell forum to see if there are any near you. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/other-poultry-birds-hatching-eggs.34/

Otherwise, I'd check your local/state poultry groups on Facebook as you may find some closer to you than you know!

Hello, and welcome to BYC. I'd wait until you are living there to get your flocks started; otherwise, you'll just be feeding the predators.

Hello!

I don’t know where to find guinea in South Carolina, but I usually look on my Facebook local poultry groups when I want to find something

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I agree that you should wait until you're there because the guineas will not last long without being locked up every night in a predator proof coop.

Welcome to BYC. I agree. I would not get chickens until you can be there full time.
