Just set guinea eggs under my broodie!!!!!

[Taylor]

I have a Black sex-link hen that went broody this past tuesday and I have been collecting eggs from my guineas and set them under her today!!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!! I had a ameraucana hen hatch turkeys 2 weeks ago and they are just adorable! I guess i'm lucky getting hens to sit!

How long do guineas need before hatching?

 

[Taylor]

28 days

Keep an eye on her since she will be at day 33 of broodiness by the time the guineas are ready to hatch. Many hens will set that long, but some will break.
