Guineas Are Trainable

[Redbeard]

I bought an incubator over a year ago. It’s still sitting in the box.

We have two incubators i only use them to get the early hatch started then i let my hens do there jobs. I find my hens are way better at it then a foam box, go figure. ..

That’s pretty much why it’s still sitting in the box

Wish my hens would go broody. That's why I bought the foam box..

You got to do what the hens won't. Are yours pretty young?

Nope, well my current ones are but their mommas were 4 when I gave up and got the incubator.

Some breeds don't go broody.

I used my bators more for fill in as opposed to taking over for the hens. Having Silkies I was almost guaranteed to have someone broody and willing to hatch.

I had California whites and while they lay LOTS of extra large/super extra large eggs, not one ever went broody. Crossed them with a Easter egger and the chicks are interesting colors. Some lay white eggs, some blue, some green and one lays brown egg.
