Poultry
Bronze
B tier
Bronze guinea fowl show warmer brown-bronze pearling instead of cool grey, a handsome farm colour with identical culinary behaviour to pearl grey. Meat is lean and savoury; free-range birds pick up more herbal notes from foraging. Spatchcock for even cooking or joint for braises. Bronze is a visual farm preference that still delivers true guinea flavour.
