Guinea eggs?

[ilovechickens]

I would like to try to hatch some Guinea eggs, does anyone have any to sell in February or March? I am getting a Incubator for Christmas, and would like to raise some. I have Buff Cochin's, and Red Frizzled Bantam Cochins, and Golden Lace Bantam Cochins. (My rooster for the Bantam Cochin's is Scooter and he is a beautiful Golden Lace. I am a 4-H Poultry leader, and this will be my project for the spring with my other Chicken Lovers.

Guineas are seasonal layers. Mine don't start laying until June. Warmer areas of the country they probably start sooner, but I don't think you'll probably find any eggs that early in the season.

Mine just stopped laying, in fact the eggs are hatching. I threw away about 8 eggs a while back, didn't think anyone would be interested.
