Broody Guinea, I think I messed up any tips for getting her back on nest?

Just got one, Maybe you know a bit about it

Also I am worried that if I take her eggs she'll make a new nest out in the woods, Maybe I could take a few and she wouldn't know? I don't really need all of those guineas running around anyway.

Nice score on the Leahy!

Yah, if you take all of your Guinea Hen's eggs she will most likely find a new spot to lay. She won't miss a few... you could even leave her as few as 6 or so and she'd probably be ok with it (I've done this many times). But you may want to take a few one day, then a few more the next day just to play it safe. Then mark what you leave in the nest so you can remove any fresh eggs that get added to the pile (if any do).

Ok Maybe I'll do that I don't need a ton of Gineas anyway, If I could hatch 4 or so I would be happy.
