Do guineas have pullet eggs like chickens, being seasonal layers? Or can I go ahead and set her first eggs? Tutu has been laying every day so I'm up to five eggs. I was willing to crack three to eat, but five just seems like they're begging to set.

If the eggs are normal guinea size, I would think you could set them.

Despite the rotten start, pretty decent day. In the morning was teaching in our largest classroom (set up for small group work) - it has the very best view on campus, always makes me smile. Then additional work, some one on one teaching in the afternoon, then home. I promptly crashed ("just closing my eyes for a minute") - several hours later, I woke up and realized that no building work is getting done today (my hands/wrists are still swollen, so that's probably for the best). I'll just need to do more tomorrow. I'm going to try to go to bed early and get some catch-up sleep tonight. I know I'm getting old now - I was invited to a big party tonight (for Fiesta) with good friends and adult beverages, but sleep is vastly more appealing. :/ Went out to collect eggs at dusk, caught that little baby possum mid-stride int eh center of the coop floor. It had that look on it's face like, "busted" (and I'm sure it remembers that I'm the one that gave it its unpleasant ride through the air yesterday. Skipped the photojournalism this time and just donned the orange gloves, grabbed it by the tail, put it in a paper sack, put paper sack inside an old potting soil bag, and sorta kinda dropped a big 20 pound stone on the top of it. Repeatedly. (I think it was the same one - I will keep watching in case it wasn't.) (Sorry Kajira) - Ant Farm (edited - forgot photos)

Mmm yummy mashed possum! That could be a real startup in the culinary scene in the US!
