    New guineas...need help.

    Tom, I think you are on to something and was my thought exactly. Robin, how can I get them in a secure spot when I can't catch them except at night by flashlight? Should I just catch them at night, stick them in a nesting box, then leave them to find it again the next? Thanks!

    New guineas...need help.

    (let me preface this by telling you that we have chickens, so we are familiar with fowl) We live way out in the middle of nowhere and driving out our road the Sunday night, there were 6 guineas just walking down the middle of it. Figuring that a coyote or dog would get them since they were not...

    Humidity

    After a few attempts at hatching, all with 50% or less hatching, I am trying to better control my humidity. Most of my eggs seem to develop but die within the last few days; which I have read and figured out that I must have far too high humidity in the incubator. I have even had couple in the...

    Unusual silkie chick?

    Hi, I just had a silkie hatch and a couple of its toes are not totally black. Does this mean it is not 'pure'? I also had a chick I bought a while back whose beak was not totally black. Is this an indicator or anything? Thanks!

    Is it time to help them out of the egg??

    Is pipping when you hear them peeping in the shell or when they make the first hole in the egg?

    Is it time to help them out of the egg??

    They have been chirping inside the egg for over 24 hours. I came home from work today and 3 of them have broken a hole the size of a dime to a pencil eraser in the shell but haven't gone any further than that in the last 3 hours. Shouldn't they be going all the way around the egg and be out by...
