What could this be? I was happy she nested right along side the coop so I could protect her if she sits on them. All my guinea fowl return to the shed at night to roost and I lock them in securely. Late summers are higher risk during the day but I have not much control over that. We have fox...lots of them. Whatever decided to remove the eggs must be brave and quiet as the shed is right outside our bedroom and I heard not a peep from the fowl or the creature??? The dogs did not stir either. 3 eggs removed in one night. Any ideas? Something is removing the eggs from my guinea hen nest. What could this be?

I thought being high up, would mean they are safe. Could you please say more about this? Thanks, Jenni Hi,
