mate for eggs

[sandovaljose214]

Hello I need to ask guinea fowl owners a question . I just found out my guinea Is a female . But does It need a male guinea fowl to lay eggs ? Or are guineas just like chickens that dont need a rooster to lay eggs . please help

I've always had at least one male, so I can't speak from personal experience, but my understanding is that they're like chickens - she should lay eggs even without a male. Guineas are seasonal layers. though, so even if she's old enough, she probably won't lay until spring/summer.

Egg production is not dependant on fertilization. That is true for all birds. I have had parakeets and finches Guineas Chickens Turkeys Cockatiels.... all produce eggs when they get mature enough.
