So my mom and I went out to get our guineas in, and we didnt see Ridges so we went to the nest. We had a hoe so Mom and I went to see if she was broody. I took the hoe from my mom and poked Ridges with the round end of it. She opened her beak and flared her wings, making herself bigger. We went and got my dad, to see if he could help. He grabbed a curtain rod and started jabbing her with it. He was finally able to get her off the nest and I was the one who needed to grab the eggs. Once I had the eggs, holding them to my chest and running, we were able to get her into the coop and I put the eggs in the coop. We went out later to see if she was broody, and she was not.
A week ago tomorrow, she stopped going broody for the second time. So two weeks ago she went broody again, and my dad and I spent a couple minutes chasing her off, and she did get off. ( this is after the eggs from the old nest got eaten by an animal. Same happened to this nest) she went broody for a week and after two days of me and a parent chasing her off, I came out with garden gloves that FIT me and grabbed her. She pecked at me a few times, but picking her up saves a lot of time and energy. Now their new nest is under a Pine Tree where a fence separates my farm and the Swamp. We own 11(?) Acres of swamp I believe...
I am so sorry it has taken forever for this to come out! I've been very busy!
