Guinea Fowl

[miles]

Is Guinea Fowl better to have raw than chicken? There's some in my supermarket for just £3.80 per kilo. I don't know if they're wildfowl, free-range or what... but it's yellowish, looks more sort of natural and appealing than chicken. I mean, I wouldn't want to go near raw chicken at all, at least for a long time(if it was well raised), seeing as I've not even been stable on beef yet, but coming from the people who would eat poultry... Where would Guinea Fowl come, or can its' quality/source be as variable as chicken?

If the guinea fowl is wild it's far better than raw chicken. Come to think of it, most modern chickens are so inbred and unhealthy that I suspect that guinea fowl, even if grainfed, is superior to raw chicken. I personally avoid all fowl except for wild mallard duck as I KNOW it's not grainfed.

My goat milk source has guinea fowl all around their farm, but they don't eat them, since the guineas eat ticks.  I would LOVE to eat one of those guineas, but I am afraid that the other guineas would stop trusting people and would leave their farm.

If it says wild, then its not grain fed

Same goes for meat, all foods labelled as wild, such as wild boar, wild hare, wild rabbit etc., are safe
