Was in a bad mood to start the day off til I went out to give fresh cool water to everyone when up walks these
cutie pies......my free range guineas brought their babies for me to see....the peafowl where checking them out...
I don't take good pictures but had to share these since it's the first time I have seen any free range keets...
the couple actually had 15 keets, 2 of them buff colored, but I scooped up 8 of the keets and put them in
my brooder inside....I hope these little guys make it! aren't they cute!!

Bummer Critters... that's stinks. Good thing you managed to take half away and get them in a brooder. It's always a good idea to confine the Momma and keets to an area in the coop or pen for a week or so... 'til the babies are a little heartier and rest of the flock has a chance to get used to them. I don't have that option tho, when I finally let my brooding Guinea hatch some keets out, and I'm worried about it. I keep swapping out her eggs on day 24/25 and bringing them in to hatch, cuz I needed the keets to fill orders and I have been worried if I let the Momma finish the job she'll be left with none in no time too. So I've basically been using her as a spare incubator, (a cranky one) lol. She's been really good about getting off the nest for me and getting back on and accepting a younger batch of eggs each time at least, lol (but is always very vocal and tattles to the rest of the flock about me taking her eggs). I think by the time I finally do let her hatch some out she'll either be so ticked off that she'll kill them all out of frustration, or she'll be a REALLY protective Momma and do a really good job. She's on another 12 eggs that are due soon... and I am stressin' about them already.
