Yes, Paul. All the eggs I've incubated so far have been shipped, purchased on e-bay. Overall, I've had poor hatches, probably mostly my own fault. There are now five guinea keets, and more pipping eggs, though it's only day 26. What I've read about guineas suggests they aren't broody, lay eggs all over the place, walk away from hatches. But in their natural environment it's often hot and dry, so perhaps there's less need for setting than it would be with chickens? I don't really know. I got these for fun, an because a neighbor is having tick trouble. So I figured, what the heck, for another thirty bucks I can try it, at least.
