My guinea fowl hen Petra has gained a lot of weight the last few weeks. Since some weeks she layed almost every day an egg into the chicken coop into the same nest.
Today, suddenly there were a lot of down feathers from her.
I've recently been told that ducks put a lot of down feathers into their nest when they want to breed (as our running ducks also did some days ago).
If Petra will go broody the next days, my plan was to put only chicken eggs under her as we don't want more guineas at the moment. Besides Petra we have also one guinea cock. Any tips for my plan?
Nice greetings from Germany, Hablo
