➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

No. Guineas are not waterfowl. Waterfowl eggs are typically misted but it is not absolutely necessary.

Thanks. I hadn't ever heard of it myself, but a member who asked for help said he got guinea eggs from someone who told him to mist them every day. Since I've never hatched them I thought I'd ask an expert.

That is what they do and then they jump up and tear around like crazy before they drop again.

I love their little orange feet!

Great pictures

The only chicken to hatch this year, a cockerel, was up in the gooseberry eating away.

I have never tasted gooseberries, what are they most similar to?

It depends on the gooseberry.. I grew Invictas for awhile. They were multi flavored and tasted most like a Kiwi.

This particular type if fully ripe will taste like a raisin pie. If not fully ripe they make a delicious tart pie.
