Yay!

You must be very very quick lol They can be tuff dudes to catch. And their feathers release if you grab them by feathers so that won't work...gotta get your hands on his body. A dart gun would be advantageous

The feathers release? . Screw it anyone have a dart gun for sale?

Love the pics! It's so nice when everyone gets along.

I thought Waco had everything??? No dart guns? Someone's holding out on ya!

I think they might finally be using them on their kids

going to need for your zoo better get some

 So excited!!!!  Went to check on Call eggs under broody...should be hatching today.  One egg was externally pipped, but all should have been because they were all internally pipped yesterday morning.  I grabbed the eggs and brought them in, candled and sure enough all were internally pipped and wanting out.  I opened them one at a time and made sure nares were clear.  They were all very vocal as I opened them up.  SW was starting so I"m glad I grabbed them.  Of the 6, 5 are alive and well so far.  3 of them are butterscotch!!!!!   I've wanted butter babies sooooo bad!!!  I have one butter egg in the bator trying to internally pip and on day 24.

3 of 7 silkie eggs in hatcher are externally pipped...woohoo!

I"M SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!!

Yes...guinea's feathers are designed to release if something grabs them...that's why they are so hard to catch.  I don't know how many times I've ended up with a handfull of feathers trying to catch the buggers!  Need a dart gun!

. Yep I need a dart gun now! All the other birds are so much easier to catch

I still have not recieved them, and you sent them Priority flat rate box right? It should only take 3 days (4 days tops)  So they might be getting returned to you??? I have never had lost eggs before...

Quail are hatching when should we give them water and food and what in dont have any thimbles or anything that small and should we give them vitimans
