I went out to feed my three guineas their worms and found two eggs! I was shocked!!!:eek: They don't normally start laying till April! Is this unusual?
I noticed a disturbance in the normal pattern of the coop about a week or two ago. One of the hens began standing in the corner of the coop facing the house and squawking every morning at sunrise. Very unusual, but now I'm thinking she may have been trying to alert us to another issue.
I...
If I can get a videa of them doing either the Guinea Shuffle or the Guinea Hop, I will DEFINITELY be posting it!!! :D

In early spring, the guineas laid about 26-28 eggs and mama sat on them for almost three straight weeks. Then she got up and started moving around and after a week, I suspected she abandoned her nest and collected and discarded all of the eggs.
She started up again and now we have...
My guinea hen sat on her nest of 36 eggs for three and a half weeks wthout moving off of them, then all of a sudden, with just a few days left to go, I saw her outside the coop. That evening, she was on the roost with the others, so I checked on the eggs. None hatched. After four days of her...
