No eggs and very jealous..

If you were asking me peanut I am in MO same as you.

And if you were asking me, I live in South Central Iowa.

I have greatly enjoyed watching the nest this year. It is outside our patio door about 25 yards and I can watch them tending to eggs while having morning coffee. I have never observed Guineas brooding outside this close. Usually they just disappear and come back with or without keats. But this time I can see the girls trade off time on the nest. I can see the men chasing off anything that comes with in 20 feet of the nest. I can see them turning eggs a couple times a day. I love seeing a pearl, a purple, and a lavender on the nest at the same time. But the same two stay out every night. It's been neat. I have a whole new respect for them and even though they have been my favorite kind of bird for years it's like I'm learning a side of them I never knew.

I check on mine two or three time a day they made their nest in the guinea house. I put an old chest of drawers in there with some straw and really didnot think they would nest in there because every one I talked to said they would not but to my surprise they did have 3 to 4 on the nest at any one time all three colos like you have way over a 100 eggs in that nest and made another nest in the corner in their house which has over 20 in it so we will see what happens I do have some one who want a lot of them, which is good because I can't keep all of them. I have a sister who lives in Washington Iowa. Peanut
