Will These Go Broody???

GUINEAS!!!

Will they go broody and hatch out their own babies??? And if they do will they be good mothers???

Generally only in the most inconvenient of places. They also aren't the greatest at keeping track of their keets. If you have one a broody hen would be a better choice.

I agree with Akane. They are not known for their 'motherly instinct'. They would be more likely to fly off and leave their babies if they get scared. You could, however, let her set the eggs, then just take the babies away once they hatch. As goofy as they are, I doubt she would miss them!
