GUINEA FOWLS ARE
POOR EGG LAYERS
Number Conservatively Estimat-
ed at 80 to 70 During Sea-
son-Great RustIerS.
BY A. J. LEGG.


I have read a number of articles
on the guinea fowl and they all COM
mend them as great rustlers for in
sects and they are also commended
as egg producers usually, however,
there Is no reliable data as to how
many eggs guinea hen will produce
In a year. / see it stated in promi-
nent farm paper that guinea hen
will lay from 30 TO 70 eggs in a
season This is quite variation, but
my observation leads me to conclude
that II is not too much. A few guinea
hens have proved to be very poor egg
producers and 80 eggs is not likely too
low for the minimum prediction,
while 20 for the maximum is very
conservative estimate. Once | kept
an account of the eggs laid by white
guinea hen and got 65 eggs from her
that season. but | felt sure that she
laid few eggs that | did not get.
Last spring l undertook to keep
an account OF the eggs laid by one
white and two pearl hens. The white
one proved to be very poor egg
producer and l do not think that she
laid more than 80 eggs. The pearls
laid well. They both laid in the same
nest and found them with 30 eggs
In the nest on two different occasions.
Once they laid full nest of eggs and
both got broody, SO I did not get an
account OF these, as they got broken
lp without me finding the nest. An
other time they got broken up and
did not know how many eggs were
lost. got an account of 1856 eggs and
estimate that 40 eggs were lost In
The two break ups, this would make
226 eggs for the three hens, and l
yeel sure that the white hen did not
lay more than 30 of them. The two
pearl hens laid very near 100 eggs
