Cochins are soooooo sweet! I have a little Golden Laced Cochin pullet, and if I tap the ground she comes to me, and if I tap my lap she hops up on it.

I have had 3 Ameracanas and they have all been rather skittish - however, my most recent one is not nice at all! As a matter of fact, her main goal is to walk around and PECK any other hen that...

Can anyone tell me if they think this might be a guinea egg. I have 6 old hens who lay regularly and our guineas are with them. Guineas are about 7 months old and I think this might be one of the first eggs from our 3 female guineas. Apparently 2 eggs were laid but one had a shell so think that it was broke and laying just outside the nest. This one is intact. About a week ago I got 2 mis-shapened with no shell just a rubbery kind of outside.

The egg on the right is kind of a lite tanish color and our hens don't lay that color. We do have ameracanas but they lay the green eggs.

Could this be my guineas starting to lay?

I love poultry of all kinds-- at present have chickens, ducks and guineas..... and hoping the flocks increase!

Here is a picture of my guinea's eggs. (the dirty greenish blueish eggs at the top are duck eggs)

Thanks, I will keep watching and see if I can see the guineas in the nests. These eggs are in nests that my hens don't usually use.

Hubby just said to check the egg to see if it is a fertile egg -- we have male and female guineas but only have female chickens. Will let you know if I find anything out for sure.

Thanks
