The Guineas are Laying

Yeah ok, I probably should have realized this before now, but I hadn't. See I had heard that Guinea fowl like to lay outside in brush and are very protective of their eggs, yadda, yadda and so I guess I just didn't think they would have been laying inside the coop with the rest of the birds. Not to mention both of our guinea are female so I guess they are probably smart enough to know they aren't fertile.

I had even noticed their eggs to be a little different and was wondering which one of my chickens was laying them. as you know we have several Partridge Cochin bantams and an old English bantam so I was expecting little eggs from them and figured one of them was just laying a slightly different shape anyway I saw one of the Guineas in a nesting box the other day and got the bright idea to google Guinea fowl eggs and there they were and I went wow DUH.

So there you have it.
This is a constant learning process for me.
And now I know all of my ladies are laying.
