hello everyone. i have a pearl grey guinea hen who had a nest in late april early may. well she had 30-40 eggs in that nest and something got them. well just about 3 days ago i figured out she had another nest about 50 yards down a hill from her other nest. well 3 days ago she had 20 eggs in it. well this morning june 14 about 20 minutes ago i went down to her nest to check on it.
something got to the nest and ate all but 7 eggs. so i took the seven eggs and took them into the coop. there sitting on a counter type thing in my coop until i can figure out something to do with them. should i let a broody hen hatch them ( see her below)
or should i put them in an incubator.
if i put them in the incubator any good advice you could give me about incubating guinea eggs would be great.
also if she lays another nest what can i do to help her keep that nest safe? like any kind of barrier?
I NEED SOME HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
