Hatching Guinea Eggs Via A Broody Local Hen. The Journey!!! by Firmjudge(m): 11:33am On Jul 24, 2017 |
Hello. Few days ago, I discovered two of my local Hen layed some eggs independently. Nursing this plan already, I quickly bought 5 Guinea eggs from the market and removed 3 eggs from Hen A that already layed 4 eggs to Hen B which had 6 eggs already. Hence, Hen A =1 egg plus 5 Guinea eggs 6 eggs Hen B. 6 eggs plus 3eggs = 9 eggs. Hen B has gone broody already about 3 days ago. Hen A layed additional 1 egg making it 7 eggs. Here is the plan. Guinea incubation period is 28/30 while hen is 19/21 days. To balance this and ensure the chicken hatch both eggs successfully, I will need to remove the chicken egg for about 9days once the Hen goes broody and leave the guinea egg. So far this morning I noticed Hen B hasnt left her mini bedroom lols.. I will watch and see... Follow me lets do this successfully. Pix will come soon. |

Alright, I just discovered Hen B has officially gone broody, I extracted the hen eggs for keeping while the Guinea eggs are still under her warmth. The aim of extracting the hen egg is to ensure the incubation timeframe collide. I will return the eggs in 8 days time. Lets keep going. |
