Guinea UpdateThe 12 eggs did not hatch. Today was the day it would have happened. The good incubator had been loaned out and the one my husband used never got to the right temperture. He told me that now he is seeing broken eggs around the chicken pen. He is taking the 12 eggs and placing them in a live trap as bait to try to catch whatever is getting the eggs. He says the mama Guinea will soon start laying eggs again. No babies for her yet.

What a shame about the eggs. I guess that is why they lay so many. Hope you get the predator.
I'm sorry about your eggs. Maybe next time will be better.
Oh that's really is too bad!
Lucky you that you got so many blueberries! All ours froze in a a freak late freeze we had the end of April. Usually I get tons, I didn't get one this year! Oh well, that'll teach me to get out there and cover the bushes if it happens again!

Awwww... too bad. Does he have any idea what got the eggs?
Do they always have their nests, right on the ground? I think I saw someone else post such. With another sad outcome too.
Seem they would all come to sad endings, being right on the ground. Seems there'd be no more guinea hens around. But obviously, that's not happening.
