Guinea Fowl Nesting

I have various different places for them to nest, such as under their house, several boards leaning for them to lay under, and different piles of brush. I have no idea if the eggs are fertile. How do you check?
If the eggs have not been incubated you can check for fertility by breaking the egg and examining the yolk. A white dot means not fertile and a bullseye means fertile.

from the very beginning of having guineas fowl i saw them as very natured and hard bird to raise. they are very social birds and live in groups.
when they are cooped the usually:
-The fertility is usually low
-They might become random layers and take time to go broody
-stress, one of the many factors causing hardling on broodiness or laying.


well best wishes
