My guinea hen is sitting her second batch of eggs this year but there is a huge difference this time. We are on about day 22 and mom keeps leaving the nest. Our average temp is 90 to 94 with humidity about 75 percent . On her last batch come day 22 she wouldn't be caught away from the nest for...

Been looking for design ideas for new coop . This is awesome and a great front runner.

Hi I have read from many many different experienced guinea breeders to never give guinea medicated feeds as it will kill them. I suggest changing your feed to non medicated with a protein of 24 or higher . Guinea have very natural resistance to chicken diseases and the medicated feed hurts them...

Yeah for the vacation its too bad though for hatching... Just wanted to share with you..mine have hatched...

I don't know.. it was hard though... I do know I was not impatient each chick that I helped there was not bleeding and absolutely no yolk left.. 8 we're on the verge of death and I gave them electrolytes via drops from a q-tip which brought them back from the brink. 2 needed orthopedic shoes to...

Lock down day 23 some say with guineas at day 20 because they can start hat hatching at day 25. Some will tell you to dry incubate and others will agree with the 60 percent humidity.. incubate at 99.5...what type of incubator do you have? I have only incubated eggs once so I am no way near an...

Dfarmann, another thing that might help with your rodent problem.... is cats.. they can be taught to leave farm birds alone.. my guinea and hens were raised with cats around them. The outside cats are fed very little at night to encourage rodent hunting. I have had many gifts of dead mice left...

I agree with you about ground level for guineas but my property has challenges... Lots of snakes... The protected species here in Washington parish is the speckled king snake.. who likes to eat other snakes and an occasional egg plus my property had an additional challenge... See pic.. so in...

My guinea nested with some encouragement (flock party worms placed on the roost by the door.) Plus I put sticks and compost in the box not wood shavings. The only problem I have now at day 21 is mom is panicking. I think she is feeling the babies move in the eggs and it's making her nervous. She...

Oh yeah wow.. that would be enough to deter her if she is your only female guinea...do you have a broody hen? May be the place to put those eggs...

BTW I caught the red hens via the game camera combined with a baby monitor. I heard the squabble then saw it on review of the game camera... I don't tolerate bully hens.

Yes that is possible. Hey just because she is not sitting her eggs does not mean they are not viable. Most likely they are... I think you may be having a problem with something disrupting her. I was having a problem with my red hens bugging my girl while she is sitting infact one flew up and...
