    Gabbie's "hatch"

    Ok, so I have come to the conclusion that guineas arent as stupid as we think! Gabbie my only female has kept an eye on her eggs under my broody all this time everyday checking on them. So, broody takes all the guinea babies out for the 1st time today n Gabbie tries to chase her off n steal the...

    Guinea Eggs for the Incubator

    I'd chance it and start them! I only have one Lavender hen also, so I saved up her eggs n put 18 under a broody hen, 10 have hatched. I moved the rest to my bator because they look good, just behind the other eggs! They also started hatching 3 days earlier then I'd figured they would hatch, so...

    Broody hen help! Should I let her hatch or ???

    I have a hen that keeps going broody, first time was in Sept, took til Nov to finally break her . Now she's broody again. Should I just give her a few eggs to set out? It's getting to cold time here in Central Texas. This hen is almost impossible to break, and somehow manages to steal eggs and...

    A squat and a peek - MAYBE!!

    I feel your pain, lOL! I have a lil Americana been practicing all week. MY RIR roo even climbed in the ducks nest box to show her how, lOl it was too funny! She watched him for about 5 min, then climbed over him and scooted him out But alas, no eggs yet, although, she checks out all the nest...

    Broody behavior??? Help

    Yep, she's going to do that til you can convince her she's not brooding. I've read in here that you can put them in a wire bottomed cage til they break.Could take 3 days. You can try just keeping on taking her eggs. Or, get a roo and let her hatch!
