Do guineas ever have problems passing eggs? Ethel has been laying for some weeks now, one egg a day. In the last few days I have noticed her sitting twice a day, morning and afternoon, on the nest. I know she hasn't gone broody, and shes making a strange noise I haven't heard before. Kind of...

I know the guineas are supposed to be confined for at least 6 weeks before they free range, going back to the coop at night. I am fencing in a small area attached to my coop, and it will have the top covered. During the 6 weeks confinement can I let them out in this covered fenced area?

I plan to have a small covered fenced area attached to my coop. This will eventually be inside a larger fenced area. I plan to cover it with chicken wire, and the keets will be 5 weeks old when I put them in the coop, do I need to worry about snakes getting them?
