Breaking or Tricking a Broody Guinea Hen?

I apologize for taking so long to respond we've had some things come up.
Anyways with the 2 remaining chicks we have everybody's a big happy (If not odd) little family for the most part.
Echo has mothered these chicks very well considering being a Guinea haha
As for Piper, After acclimating to them behind a wall of hardware cloth, he is right at home with them and even protects them.
So it seems to have all worked out for the most part!
I did mention there were 4 of them originally one of the to that we lost however was premature and against my best efforts did not survive. The other had not fully absorb the yolk sac before hatching and had been very healthy but deteriorated very quickly.
We now have 2 very healthy little chicks and judging by the feather growth and tail growth I'm wondering if we ended up with a Roo however im not sure and may be too early to tell! haha
Cute! Your guinea pair looks like happy with their “strange brood”! Congratulations at making this work! :celebrate
