One of our hens has hatched 9 Guinea Fowl. Very exciting. Last year we got a bantam to hatch 6 eggs. She was such a good attentive mother and looked after them for about 6 months. She didn't really have a choice as the guinea's followed her everywhere, they got very over excited when she...

I really do feel that she has taken motherhood to whole new levels. She really gets very concerned when they fly off. She has real trouble that they are so flighty! You can really hear her saying that the last brood were so much better behaved, (they were bantams). Jane
