I have managed to find every nest they made & am already incubating 17 eggs. I put 2 more under my broody Bantam Cochin (she was so pitiful brooding an empty bucket). Then, they started laying in a big planter bucket at the end of our storage trailer. I counted 17 eggs yesterday. Today a guinea hen is setting & my other hen is sitting on the ground beside her. I am going to roust her off & collect the eggs for incubation. Good idea? It's my 1st hatch. Started with 7 guineas, 6 made it to adulthood, & 4 for laying (2 males, 2 females--good luck from a straight run, right?). Sorry about the long post. I am so excited!
