Date sort Score sort
Soooooo...that egg was a fart egg and this morning I went out and checked her pin bones she was 3 fingers wide! I went back in the afternoon and walla a little tiny nest under the coop made of sticks with a little tiny pointed egg in there.I took me up to a point were I had to slam the egg on the counter to crack it barley open! It was a hard egg!


In short...she layed!!!!!!!!

I don't know...what other species are laying eggs, and where, and are they confined? Our guineas laid very light colored eggs. We had several colors of guineas. Here's a pic taken when we discovered they had been using this tub for a nest...they were free range and we rarely found the nests until they were loaded with eggs and too late for us to use. And this from 5 guineas. We don't have guineas any more tho.

Yes, it is normal for the male to guard the nest while the hen is laying an egg. I have watched the males play the "broken wing" ploy to lead other guineas on a chase as they lead them away from the nest.
