How Long does It take for New Guineas to Lay?

[clucky3255]

I Got 2 new guinea chicks and they are pretty big......I think 2-3 months old...And I was wondering if anybody knew how long it took for them to lay.....And when they do will the eggs be able to be eaten?
Or not? Has anyone eaten one?
PLEASE ANSWER!!!

from Alabama. Glad you joined us. Congrats on your guineas and good luck

Usually guineas start to lay the next spring after they're hatched. Their eggs can, of course, be eaten. To me they don't really taste any different from chicken eggs.
