Still have guineas hatching. They are taking their sweet time. I believe 19 have hatched so far, out of 30 eggs that made it to lockdown. Lots more pips. My silkie hen has eggs that are due to hatch anytime. I hope at least a couple make it, if not I suppose I could give her some guineas! Lol.
I've been doing dry hatches and it seems to work well for me. I also hatched 8/12 lav. orps. And 9/12 GCM from chicken stock eggs! The guinea eggs from Impulsive farmer are in lockdown now.
Rancher, they are doing great. I just wish there was more than 2 but things happen. I must of forgot to tell you at the show at the fairgrounds I met Guy Roy. I don't know of you ever heard of him but he is a breeder of Plymouth Rocks. If you google his name you will find pics of his birds, they...
I've got chicks poppin out like popcorn now! Its about time! I turned up the temp on the cabinet bator, I'm assuming it was running low that's why my chicks were a little late. 30ish guineas go in lockdown on Wednesday!
I still don't have a single pip :/ I guess I need to calibrate my thermometer! Normally my speckled Sussex hatch a day early and they aren't even pipped yet!
I bought Lav orp eggs from Marquisella, maybe she donated them. I had to toss one at lockdown so 11 are still going. I also have 11/12 Golden Cuckoo Marans from Tab and Travis in there. Anyone else have chicken stock eggs hatching this weekend?
Tab, I made the potato salad
All the newbies are in their new homes, the RIR roo from Horsekeeper is a breeding maniac! Lol. He certainly wasn't shy with the new girls. I am tired!
I picked up everyone's chicks for tomorrow. Decided to keep them in the house since its just for the night, boy are they loud! Of course there is 40 or so of them! Such cute little fuzzy butts Also I have had 2 speckled Sussex hatch today, its day 20, and have a few mixes pipping. Holy chicks!
