cool thanksNormally chicken hens make better mothers than guinea hens because they don't tend to have the wanderlust that guinea hens have.
Here is my chicken hen with her hatch. I had given her 10 guinea eggs and on day 26 she hatched all 10 eggs.

Even guinea hens can be good mothers under the right circumstances. They are definitely very protective of their keets but they need to be confined to an area where they can be prevented from dragging the keets through wet grass
