Guinea fowl are a type of domesticated poultry that we keep for tick control, and also often kept for their naturally alert nature and loud call (essentially making them a great guard animal). They are native to West Africa.
Their eggs are a nutritious and flavorful alternative to chicken eggs, known for their rich, creamy taste, deep orange yolk, and higher protein and fat content, though they have a smaller size and thicker shell that can make them harder to crack. They can be used in any recipe calling for chicken eggs, with two guinea eggs often substituting for one large chicken egg, and are a good source of vitamins and minerals like calcium, zinc, and B12.
We collect our guinea fowl eggs at the same time as our chicken eggs. The eggs shown here are a little dirty because they like to dig out a pit and lay their eggs in dirt under the mobile chicken house. They will certainly be washed when you receive them!
Try them out at this low price for a limited time only. We only have 8 laying guineas, so we get 5-8 a day (about 3-4 dozen a week). Once word gets out that we have guinea fowl eggs, we won't be able to keep them in stock, and may raise the price to match other growers ($10-15/dozen).

In 2026, starting May 16 through October 31, we will be on at the Southwest Market weekly. Each Saturday, SW Market takes place from 8:30am sharp to 1pm in the parking lot of Mount Olivet Church on 50th and Knox in far south Minneapolis.
We use organic methods and certified organic inputs (e.g. fertilizer, animal feed, etc), but Granja Las Aguilas is not currently certified organic. We (Silvano and Gina) have between us over a decade of experience in organic agriculture.
Other environmental practices:
- We protect our nearby waterways from livestock with a large setback (distance) and high-tensile fence that separates our pastures from the wetlands bordering our farm. We see dozens of varieties of birds and other creatures gracing our wetlands! Please contact us to visit for photography and general relaxation.
- We practice rotational and managed grazing for the health of our soil and animals.
- We have lots of milkweed and "weeds" beneficial to pollinators and insects, that we try to let stand whenever possible. Even the stand of milkweed that stubbornly inhabits the garden!
- We are constantly learning about new methods in regenerative agriculture, and how we can improve our processes.
