I have a pair of Guineas. Earlier this year the hen hatched out some eggs in old calf hutch in sheep pasture. I took the keets away from her after she kept losing them here and there and sold them.
So, now a month later she is sitting on another clutch. However, this time she is a ways away - close to the corn field where the fox like to hang out waiting for birds to pass by. (I've seen him at it). I want to take the eggs away and put in incubator.
1. Should i just pop them all in the incubator or should i candle them? it's only been about 2 weeks...
2. How do you think she will react? I'm sure I will have to fend her off while I'm taking them, but will she just quickly forget?
