Hello, I am Stephen Horst, owner of Fifth Day Farm Inc. We raise and breed Pearl guineas to produce keets and fertile eggs for live market and backyard needs. My father-in-law started hatching silkies and then guineas in the late 1990’s. As the small family business grew to include ducks, chickens and geese, us four sons-in-law also started joining to help with the different poultry lines. I started helping Joel in 2008 with guinea artificial insemination, then 2 year later started managing the Muscovy and Khaki Campbell ducks. In 2022, Joel started his retirement, and we assumed responsibly for the guinea production since then. More of our story and products can be found at freedomrangerhatchery.com
We import up to five Galor guinea parent flocks of hatching eggs per year from Grimaud Freres. With the risk of restrictions and embargos, Grimaud has been willing to help us with a possible placement of grandparent flocks in the future. We thank Grimaud’s staff for their good relationship and great technical advice over the past many years.
Raising French guinea fowl chicks, also known as keets, can be a satisfying and profitable business. The French Guinea hens for sale by our hatcheries grow twice as fast as other guinea fowl varieties. They are used primarily for meat, which is in high demand, thanks to its lean, tender, dark quality
I personally enjoy working with poultry, and having my family involved. We aim to continue providing excellent products for our customers who range from purchasing 10 keets for backyard needs to 10,000 keets for commercial meat production. Some purchase guineas to raise for tick control, whiles others buy to raise for the popular live city markets, or a fancy cruise ship dinner. We also offer fertile eggs for sale in a dozen quantities or by the case. Other services we provide are wing pinioning, and sexing of keets. We ship to all United States and export some.
