I had my first broody hen this year, and so I decided to give her some guinea eggs (the last thing I need right now is more chicks). Well, 3 of the 5 hatched out Friday. Today she took the hatched group and went for a walk, showed them food and water, then brought them back in. She did not get back on her nest however. So I figured the last 2 eggs were quitters. When I took them from the nest, they were cold, so I decided to crack them open to see where they quit at. Well, the first one gasped when I got it open.
I feel horrible! It didn't last long, but looked like it was ready to hatch. So I've rushed the 2nd egg inside, and while I was looking around for something to keep it warm, I heard peeping! And it was wiggling in my hand. I've wrapped it in a towel, warmed in the dryer, but I'm at a loss for what else I should be doing. I've never hatched eggs before!
What do I do now?
