Missing female guinea fowls

Ok, so, we went from 7, 6, today was 5. Yesterday we went Looking for nests, didn't find anything.

Today I saw flock hanging around a particular spots and kept going back to it. I go over to take a squiz, and found missing #6 and #7 on a nest 👏😀

Is there anyway I can protect them while not distributing them to much? Or let nature do its thing ?
Not really. I never let mine spend the night on their hidden nests. I force them off of the nests and herd them into my secure coop for the night.

I also collect the eggs daily and keep a minimum of 3 fake eggs in the nests to keep them from making new nests. If I want any hatched, I incubate them.

Same, except that I let them keep coop nests, though I still manage those by getting them off once a day and collecting the newly laid eggs.

Thanks I shall do this. If they stop attacking me 😂

I trained mine w/millet in a coffee can. I'd put millet in different areas in coop -an area for each to go to, then combine clapping my hands and shaking the coffee can. They learned to associate both sounds independent of each other as a call to return to coop. The "twins" are slowly catching on, but still learning.🙄
