Guinea mating question.

[MossyCreek]

How old are they when they begin mating/laying eggs? Mine are approx 24 weeks old...should I be watching for eggs?

I haven't seen mine mating... But I can't watch 24/7.... We've had the usual crazy South Arkansas weather... But the eggs are tasty!

Just in case anyone gets their shorts in a bunch... When I find the eggs, they're already colder than refrigerated....

Ooh! I can't wait to get some eggs out of mine!

Okay, so I was thinking the same thing...but my guineas apparently missed that memo...they started laying eggs two weeks ago ! They just turned four months old the 17th...

Wow, mine are almost a year and still not seen a single egg. Lots of hanky panky going on and LOTS of sitting in the nests (even the chicken nest boxes!) - but no eggs

Where are you located? They are seasonal layers so the latitude matters. Sounds like they are gearing up though!
