Guinea hen has stopped laying!

[SulkyBantam]

We recently purchased two guinea-hens.
They are lovely (slightly highly strung, but lovely) and fit in really well with our chickens.

A week after they arrived, one of them laid a tiny egg. I waited for them to increase in size, but she didn't lay a single more!

What is going on?
I wondered if it was the sudden transaction to layers' pellets that triggered it?

Guineas are seasonal layers. They normally lay from spring through fall. My guinea hens stopped laying on September 30 this year.

Even though I’m south of you, that’s when mine stopped too!

Right, makes sense thanks!

And I think Rosie laid her last one before either of you. Infact, I think R2 elk had snow that week.
