I moved them in at noon and when I checked humidity at three a tiny little face was peeking up at me.

Glad I could help keep you from freaking. I know I freaked out the first time it happened to me.

is it a problem to hatch guineas and chickens together at the same time?  i just realized today that i've got some overlap, and only have 1 hatcher.

Karen - k.i.forgot (it's a ham thing...)
Welcome to the Zoo!  2 Morgans, 2 Minis, 1 Standard Poodle, 3 cats, 3 pet birds and the chickens.

Dorkings and bantam Cochins mostly, with a few others here and there.

And of course, my wonderful Hubby, who puts up with me and keeps me in check when I start to get crazy.

No problem whatsoever.  Guineas raised with chicks are supposed to be calmer, too.
