Or you could share and send some to me

I don't think mine are laying yet, though they are breeding! I usually see eggs dropped randomly around the yard when they first start laying, but I probably should watch them to make sure they aren't hiding any! I think it's a little early yet, last year they started in early April.

that little egg is so cute!

one of the posters said the fat end of the egg is actually the top. so do you store/incubate them with the pointy side UP? with chickens and other birds i know to have pointy side down...

 

[shelleyd2008]

No because the air cell is in the fat end (top).

Zaz - I'm so jealous! I've found 2 nests and collected 3 dozen so far. Will get todays eggs and in the bator they go tomorrow. Of course there's still 8 eggs in the nests. I know there's got to be more nests but I can't find them! Ack!

I've been watching them from the house and now they stopped in a spot. Time for me to go over there and seee what I find!

Reason #1 to collect eggs from found guinea nests EVERY day. Predators.

One nest that I had found got raided last night. I only lost the 4 eggs I purposely left there but now they have to find a new spot! And I have to keep following them. Grrr.
