My 6 guinea hens are now 14 months old. Most of them have survived (I lost 2, one last December, and one this July)
With 6 hens, the egg laying rate has been pretty consistent at 2 eggs a day, with some (warm days) as many as 6 eggs.
I have read these birds are seasonal layers.
What exactly does that mean?
I live in SW PA, so we have fall/winter from October-March.
Will the egg laying completely stop, or will I be able to collect the occasional one or two as the days get shorter, and colder
thanks
