I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUCE ..MY GUINEA HAVE STARTED LAYING WOO HOO
They are in with chickens and I had no idea they were laying in the same nest as the chickens.
Well one of my chicken has decided she was gonna try to lay on some eggs so I had left them alone and didnt bother her..
Well then she decided she didnt want to do that and abandoned them I thought ok.. well next few days she did it again and started to lay on them.
I thought well maybe she will stay this time.. well that didnt work out either. I went in to clean up the eggs and found that the Guineas were laying in there as well and some of the eggs she was laying on were the Guineas eggs as well. I was so excited and thought why couldnt she just hatch them for me.. But she wont stay on them constantly..
Since i took them out I know for sure I have 3 Guineas laying eggs as well I check them daily and they are going in and laying in the box.. so I am excited now.

Does someone wants Guineas? My don't start laying yet. Maybe they don't like me?

It's a weird year, with weird weather... I have a feeling most everyone's birds just aren't sure what's goin' on. My older flocks are holding out on me too (normally they'd be laying like crazy), and my youngest flock has slowed way down on their egg laying, by more than 1/2

I'm not really complaining, cuz I've already set 10 batches of eggs and hatched over 140 keets so far from 7 hatches , but it's definitely not what I was expecting when I first started finding eggs. With 45 Hens to collect eggs from I figured I'd be buried in eggs and keets by March for sure!

Mine are not laying yet either. It is quite easy to tell them apart. Like mentioned above the female are loud and the males are quieter only making one syllable sounds.

Ours havent laid any this year yet. They actually laid eggs the end of last year, and I understand you usually dont get eggs their first year. Well ours were born in june and did give us eggs then, and now nothing. I must say they look to be moulting, as our yard is covered in guinea feathers, so maybe once they finish the moult they will lay, or they are off laying them somewhere and we havent found them yet.

I too am wondering when they will give me eggs.

I have an adult pair of Guineas, and then three young females coming up that should be laying anytime now. My one grown female has been laying for the past week and a half. I have the four eggs I've found in the incubator. The first egg I found lying in the cow pen, then I found two eggs mixed around with the chicken eggs in the hay bales, then I found one in the chicken/guinea coop this evening. They just lay them where ever they happen to fall out!
