    Guineas not laying after change of address

    Do they always hatch their eggs?

    My Guineas Hens are both laying in the same spot, do Guineas always sit on their eggs when they have enough? They have seven eggs as of today, when should I expect them to sit, and will they share the nest? They are free range but are returning to their coop to lay each day. Thanks for any answers.

    Egg Right at Dark

    Went to close my pen right before dark tonite and one of my RIRs was sitting in a nest box. So I went back 15 mins later(it was dark) and sure enough there was a warm egg. I had let them out to free range about an hour earlier and gathered the eggs so I know this one was laid right before dark...
