Our first guinea mama hatched out a clutch of eggs! There are at least 15 beautiful keets w/ her and she's still sitting on a few eggs. Her nest is along a fence and we had been putting a hardware cloth- covered milk crate over her at nite, but it's going to be too cramped for the whole crew to go under. Can I move the mama and her babies to a broody box if I move it close to the nest site? How long should I give the other eggs to hatch?
