    Guinea broody on Infertile eggs- help?

    She's been on them a couple of weeks, but good idea on the dog, I do have one that could possible flush her out, I will have to try that. But if I could actually find the nest I am curious how many eggs are there, the 2 females have been going off to lay for awhile. But no male guinea for them...

    Guinea broody on Infertile eggs- help?

    Yes I am worried about that, I have only seen her off the nest every couple of days and I went out yesterday searching (again), she is so quiet, I can't seem to find where the nest it. I tried luring her with scratch, nothing, not a peep. Hoping I find her soon, coming for water and I'll put...

    Guinea broody on Infertile eggs- help?

    That's what I am going to try, she easily flys over the pen, so I will try to keep her in the coop. Wish me luck. ;)

    Guinea broody on Infertile eggs- help?

    She's also very sneaky and I only see her off the nest every couple of days. My best bet is to try to catch her when she's back in the pen, no way I am getting to the nest. Literally thick dewberry hedges, thorns, etc.

    Guinea broody on Infertile eggs- help?

    Sadly it's not that easy, I can't find the nest she's under thick brush and I haven't been able to locate it. I am not worried about the eggs, just her that she may die trying to hatch these duds.

    Guinea broody on Infertile eggs- help?

    I am hoping when they go bad, she will stop. I can't find the nest, she is so sneaky and quite when sitting on them, they are in thick rose and dewberry hedges. I think my best bet is to try to catch her when she comes back to the coop. Just wanted to make sure she won't die trying to hatch...

    Guinea broody on Infertile eggs- help?

    I can't find her nest, she is laying in thick brush. That is the problem, will she naturally stop after the eggs go bad?

    Guinea broody on Infertile eggs- help?

    I have 2 female guineas and one is sitting on a nest and I can't find the nest, and the eggs are infertile. How long will she sit? Should I try to find the nest, it's in thick brush. Or will she eventually give up?

    Guinea broody on Infertile eggs- help?

    I currently have only 2 female Guineas and one has gone broody in our back pasture (on infertile eggs) and I can't find her nest anywhere, but I hear her sometimes. And she comes back to the pen once a day or so. Has anyone had anything like this? How long will she sit on the eggs? I'm a...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    I've been breeding OE chickens now for about 6 years, starting flock were a mix of Easter Eggers and Black Copper Marans. I then bred back to black copper marans hens and OE roosters for several generations. Right now my breeding rooster looks very much like a BCM but has a pea comb and beard...

    Close ups!!! Post your best close up pics of your chicken

    A couple I took of one of my favorite broody hen Pumpkin the black australorp, as I was trying to break her from being broody by putting her in another part of the coop she flew over the fence and sat on top. A tiny bit of light was shining right on her face.

    This post is from last year and unfortunately I never did find the duckling. Though the parents the whistling ducks have been seen at my parents house again this year, so I am very curious if they have another nest.

    Found baby duck, can I put it with my boody hen?

    Well I put the duck under my broody hen last night, and when I got up early this morning the duck is missing? I am sure it is hiding somewhere but I can't find it anywhere, I am kicking myself for not just putting it in a brooder. I just thought for sure it would take to the hen, but I guess...
