Are anyone else’s guineas not laying yet? I have a flock of 14 and I know for sure at least 5 of them are females they are housed with my chickens is it possible i’m getting eggs and not knowing?

Do you keep yours with chickens? If you do can you tell the eggs apart? I’ve heard guinea eggs are small but I have some small hens in there that lay small eggs.

Yes. The eggs are very easy to tell apart, they are small, short and very pointy. And usually beige.

Also hard as rocks.

Very pretty! Are they always speckled?

Almost always but I have found one off white one and received another as a hatching egg. I guess their inkers weren't working the day those eggs were laid.
