Well I guess it was lucky that my guinea hens started laying at about 4 months old, but they will lay anywhere and everywhere thats sheltered, so yours may be laying just not where you have found it yet! Just yesterday one of my girls layed right in the middle of a very big thorny blackberry bush and I had to get a very long stick to work it out. And they are also seasonal layers, spring through fall, so mine just started laying again for the season a couple weeks ago.
But glad to hear you are enjoying them, I love mine too! Arent they just adorable! I love watching them run! Its still funny EVERY time I see it.
I have not yet let them hatch any eggs to know how long it takes but a book I have says it takes 26 to 28 days to hatch.
Do you have any new pictures of them? They look pretty young in the previously posted pics to be certain but boys will be bigger, taller, have bigger wattles and helmets and will only make a one syllable call while the girls make the two syllable call. When my girls need to lay they will separate and find a sheltered spot but will for a few minutes call out loudly, kinda clues me in to where to check for eggs later. Good luck!
