    Another Guinea question

    In an earlier post I ask if the guineas would accept the keets I hatch out in my incubator. and the answer is no. SO the six Guineas I purchased have laid about 8 eggs now. My question is, if and when these hatch, do I need to remove the keets ir will there natural "parents" tkae care of them?

    Incubator help

    Not to hi jack this thread, but I just placed 20 guinea eggs in my hovabator. what should the humidity be maintained at, (if possible) and should I wet the sponge and add water to the bottom of the incubator. it does have an egg turner in it as well. Thanks, and excuse me just jumping in here. Jeff
