The Pearl Guinea is the most common variety of Guinea today. Originating in Africa, the Pearl is the guinea seen in most nature shows posing as a look-out around the water holes. They are very alert and wonderful “buggers”. Pearls are a joy to have around and a delicacy for the table.
The Pearl Guineas that I recieved from the hatchery are the hardiest birds I have ever seen. All of my guineas got off to a good start but even in the coldest weather the pearls were the toughest and largest. They're really an all-around great bird.
