Lilac is indeed gorgeous but looking a little worse for wear since King Guinea picked out her back feathers. He’s now in isolation so all the girls can recover.

Sounds like your hens are coming on line with the egg laying. I was amazed that mine started out laying large eggs from the very beginning, including a couple huge double-yolkers. But with our recent cold and diminishing daylight they are slowing down. The guineas seem to have stopped laying, and the hens are hit and miss these days. Time for a well-deserved break!
