how do you find your free range nests?

well, mine have decided the hill behind us works- but the brush is so think and rocky there is no way i can get in there- so will just have to trust them to do it right...

they are semi tame and hang around close by, hopefully it will work out

You are so right! i am in eastern oklahoma, the ozarks and that is something that slipped my mind on snakes- interesting that they guard one another- they are really interesting...

So far I don't and I probably never will. I can't even get back to half the places they like to hang out.

I never had any luck finding my guineas nests. I found one after the fox got it and it was right in an area that I looked many times. Last year I got luck and they set up shop in one of the mangers of my horse stall. I let them fill it real good and hatched them. They let me take a few more eggs, I never took all of them and boom they changed sites and I could not find them.

My buddy has a bunch of guinea fowl and he is going to keep them cooped while they lay. I hope they start soon

One of mine laid in the corner of the feed barn, the next one I just happened to run across in the vegetable garden when it was high weeds. For the one they're laying in now I leaned a pallet against the garage and they fell for it. They aren't setting on it yet but two are laying there and it has about 16 eggs (guinea) and one chicken egg.
