    Questions about incubating Guinea Fowl Eggs!

    Cant hurt to try! Don't put any cracked ones in there and then follow the rules of incubating guinea eggs you find by googling. They are pretty resilient so you might get lucky. :D Let us know!

    Seesh they are hatching ANOTHER clutch.

    How many of your free roaming guineas have hatched natural eggs? This is my fourth hatch this year! LOL They are currently sitting on 15 or 16 eggs. I'm very hopeful they turn out as I recently had to leave the birds with no dog to protect them and I lost 2.

    Questions about incubating Guinea Fowl Eggs!

    Look up their incubating temps and humidities. If they are very similar I would think it would be ok.

    guineas wont go into new house

    put a light in it even a night light. My guineas HATE the dark. And yes make sure they have nice high roosts. I"ll bet ya a light will fix it though if you don't have one. If you DO well then, have they gone in it at all? Maybe a trail of treats?

    I have "grand-keet" !

    Very cool! :D You may consider scooping up the baby however. I've had two different "couples" have natural keets this summer. THREE batches. One batch of 15 we left three with the parents and they got killed after mom decided following them around was no fun. She completely started...

    Tethered Guinea

    i've raised a couple batches as keets now and they stick around. I live on about 1.3 acres then have farm ground around me. I keep them in a coop with a run for about 2 months. then I let them out for a couple hours, chase them back in etc. Eventually they get to where they will kind of do...

    guinea hens gone but eggs remain

    Hi TwoPine, sorry to hear about your bird. Most of what I've read suggest they will not sit on them but results definitely vary. I know that I had a clutch I removed a couple eggs from a couple of times but left several and they abandoned the whole lot. That said, they probably aren't going...

    Hi hutchel I'm sure someone with more knowledge than I will come along but i've had guineas two years now and they hatched keets outside this year and another hen is sittinng on some that ought to be done any day now. When I was reading about bringing the eggs in most people seemed to agree...

    Woohoo momma hatched 16 keets!

    So I was down to 5 guineas and thinking about ordering some more. I hadn't seen any eggs for quite awhile (they free range all day and coop at night) and I knew they probably had an egg clutch somewhere but I hadn't found it so far or really given it too much thought (still knew to this)...

    Morning of Day 7 guinea eggs, a candle question of course!

    @lacychick thanks! He's a cutie. No others hatched so we picked him up a couple friends. We named the keet asparagus and this bantam peanut butter.

    Morning of Day 7 guinea eggs, a candle question of course!

    Well one keet hatched yesterday morning. He surprised me so I didn't have the paper towel in just yet. I was pretty positive the others had died so I went ahead and opened the lid and snuck it in there.
