    Male Guinea Hen attacking all other birds

    So I'm new to this whole Guinea fowl thing. Up until about a week ago I thought I had two female Guineas....turns out I'm pretty sure one is a male. They are so hard to tell apart by look, but going by actions I think I figured it out. I got them as Keets in May and they were raised with 11...

    First Time Incubating.

    At first I thought this was a really good idea to incubate a few eggs......and now that I'm starting to see the chicks developing inside, I'm getting more and more nervous. Any tips for a newbie? I'm coming up on Days 12-16 for a few eggs and I'm starting to panic about them not hatching.

    Silkie thread!

    They fought alot when they were younger. I had tried to find homes for a couple of them but no one around us wanted Roosters and I wasn't taking them back to the auction, so we kept watching them and broke up fights that we could and now they don't fight at all. So I don't know if they ot tired...

    Can Eggs a hen has been sitting on for a couple days be moved to an incubator?

    Hi! Im getting two hens from a friend of mine so that my Black Silkie Roo isn't lonely until my white Silkie hens are mature enough to go in with him. But I'm going away for a week on Sunday. I don't want to burden my boyfriend's parents with the incubator because I have to hand turn our eggs...
