I have 3 guineas that roost in a tree above my chicken coop. They free range during the day. My hubs found one sitting on a nest in an area where there is various wildlife. This is her first nest and she has gone broody. I am beside myself with her out there all night. We didn't have time to do anything before dark. I have read many threads and I plan on moving her and the eggs to a safe place. I have read that this may not be successful. At this point, I just don't want to lose her! She has been on the nest no more than 2 days. My question is...if she rejects the nest, do I bring the eggs inside the house until I can incubate. How long can I keep them before incubation? Night temps are 50 to 60 deg to daytime of 79-80 deg. Thank you all for any and all advice!
