Hello People,
I am new to this site. I own 15 Guinea fowl. I started Aug 2016 with 24 eggs shipped to me. 2 broke in shipment, only 2 hatched, and 1 survived. A week after my husband, yet again, had a tick on him, and I then stomped back into the house and ordered 15 keets. They were delivered the next week. I currently have 15, 1 died because he couldn't get out of the feeder. A few lessons learned in this month. Not sure why my eggs didn't hatch in the incubator yet. Still learning. Now I learned in my research that Guineas lay Mayish time zone, but my big guys are laying eggs in January. I get roughly 1 a day, and I have gotten 9 so far, 4 are in the incubator. The other 5 were frozen and cracked.
So if anyone has had experiences about Guineas laying in winter, please pipe up lol. I figured I would try with decent looking feeling eggs, if I have caught them in time, I am not sure.
Look forward to the banter.
Thank you
Lisa

If you dont mind their noise, which I don't lol, so far they are fun.
! Pleased you joined our community! I have a 6-pk of keets that we're given to me in late May. They free range but never far and all 6 are always together. To my knowledge none of mine are laying and I am reasonably certain two of them are hens. So, sorry but I'm not much help with your question. Thanks for joining BYC!!
