I just hatched out 16/22 of my guinea eggs from their nest I found right as a raccoon found it also. Right after they moved their nest and I hadn’t been able to find it until yesterday. I had been noticing 2 of my hens were taking turns “missing” for maybe a week now so I figured they were on a nest somewhere.
I found it! Over 40 eggs from my flock of 5 (had 6, lost one from a car last week) honestly I have no clue how males vs females I have but I suspect this nest to be around 30 days old. I have two bantam Cochins that have been broody for a couple weeks now on their empty nest box. They are the only two in my small coop. Should I put some of the eggs under them or since they have already been broody that long should I just put them all in my incubator?
I tried to candle them but only possibly saw a little development 2. What are my chances with these eggs?
