My guinea hen has been setting on eggs and they started hatching (not that she lets me near, but...) We had dry weather in the 90's in week 3 but got 5" of rain and 70-80 degrees in the last week of incubation. Don't know if that matters, though.
But - so far I've found 4 eggs kicked out of the nest, one about 100 feet away, the rest close by. The eggs were all partially hatched, less than half the shell off, and the keets were dead.
Any clue why? Would the weather have messed stuff up? Would mama kill them?
Thanks!
