I was just on the Guinea Farm site.... http://www.guineafarm.com/descriptions.html   They have white guineas there and their verbal description is very much like your white Guineas.  Has anyone bought Keets there?


Which one were you looking at i could not find it by their discription of white.


The white is up at the top of their list about two down.  You might drop them a note and ask them if their whites have polka dots.  Their pictures are good but arent closeups.

Here is a couple of photos of my nests - the one in the coop is one I made out of hay and moved the eggs in there when I found a load behind a tree. The hens looked a bit surprised to see their eggs in there, but started laying in the nest the very next day after I moved it, I was very impressed. 2 hens share the nest and take it in turns to sit on it most of the time, and at times, both sit on it big_smile

The other photo is of the nest I finally found under some branches off my property, 47 eggs in it which I've removed in the attempt to lure the hussy back to the flock and join her mates again!

I just found a nest with 75 eggs in it. Sadly, I destroyed the nest amd she abandoned them even with over half of them still intact. My question is... If I lock them up, will the hens lay in a nesting box designed for a chicken?
