My neighbor has chickens,ducks, greese, turkeys, peacocks, and guiena's. They are free range and the peacocks and gueineas think they like in my chicken coop/run. The question I have for you guys is the guienas keep laying eggs in my chicken run behind the tree and I have broody hens right now that I don't want to hatch any baby chicks right now. So I was wondering if I could give them some gueina eggs to sit because I would really love to have my own gueinas. My neighbors don't do anything with the eggs of any of their birds they just leave them sitting all over the place. Part of me says it is stealing if I take the eggs but I am only going to take the ones layed in my chicken pen. What do you guys think?
Can you ask your neighbor? Just say that his/her Guineas are laying eggs in your coop and you'd like to keep some. If you can't ask your neighbor for whatever reason then I would say that since they are laid inside your coop ... they are yours.
I'd hatch them, or let your hen hatch them. it takes 26-28 days for guineas, I have them and have 2 incubators with guinea eggs! I agree, if they are on your land they are yours. we clip our guinea's wings at first so they stay on our property, we have our property fenced in.
I would hatch them too! Your neighbor doesnt have to know after all they layed them in your yard so technically they are yours.
If they are laying eggs in your coop, they've probably eaten some of your feed, too. So I think the eggs are a fair trade
maybe if you said something to your neighbor they may come with a bucket of eggs for you to hatch if they don't use them! We do that with our neighbors, everytime they have a broody hen, we bring them eggs to hatch, and visa versa!!
