Hey y'all, I have a guinea hen that has been sitting on a clutch of eggs for almost 4 weeks, just a few days left to go. Well, a chicken laid an egg in her clutch so a chick hatched before the rest. Mamma guinea was being a good Mamma and kept sitting and taking care of the chick so I let them be. Today I went out and Mamma was off the eggs and her and 3 males weren't taking care of the chick anymore, they had been pecking her. I saved the chick and have been watching the guineas. So far, she has stayed near the clutch but hasn't sat back down. There should only be 1-2 days left before they hatch. How can a I save the eggs if she doesn't sit again? We don't have an incubator.
