One of my hens went to sitting,last Saturday.I manage to get three eggs from my husbands nephew to put under her.He took them from under one of his hens that had already just started sitting.One of my friend left a dozen eggs at my steps.and three of those are guinea eggs.Is it to late to put these eggs under her.And I have consider buying a incubator just in case.I'm really stressing out.and don't know what to do.
thanks
Bucky.

Guinea eggs take longer to hatch than chicken eggs so she may not sit that long after the others have hatched. But if you do get an incubator you can finish them off in there if she doesn't.

Oh My.Should I remove them from under her.or just let her sit on them.I would hate for them to develop and than she stops sitting.

Worse case you can put them on a heating pad or hot water bottle if they haven't hatched after she gets up.
