I have 4 guineas. I know the difference in the male/female sounds but when they're together, it's hard to tell. I had a mixture, but the fox took so many now I only have the 4. I wanted to hatch more but wasn't sure if I had a male or not. On the day I collected 4 eggs, very disappointed, I...
I have many chickens, I know about their egg laying. I have guineas and know they only lay spring/summer. My son just dropped his 2 ducks off at my house. I know nothing. He said he has never seen any eggs so I said they're probably both males. Then I was wondering...he got them last yr. when...
Here is my newest problem. i have chickens getting one swollen eye. Not coryza, have had that and unfortunately know those symptoms all to well. With these chickens, one eye is getting swollen and VERY HARD in the corner of the eye. Almost as if you shoved a marble in there. Nothing comes out...
Countrygrrl....YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!! I just recently found this out. A friend had got us started with a couple keets, and as they got older, I of course didn't know which was which, and they both made the same noise. But what was the noise??? buckwheat?, buckwheat?, chi-chi...
Typed "guinea chick pictures" in the search. COULD I HAVE WISHED FOR BETTER??? Just great, thank you. I just hatched my first guinea today, KNEW it was a guinea egg when I put it in there. Told everyone "as ugly as they are, can't imagine what this wet, scrawny little thing is going to look...
yes...I'm sorry nobody has answered you, I never get any replies on this site. Can't tell you why this happened, but I'm having the same problem if you read my last post. Good luck with your remaining chick.

Just my opinion, but I would NOT add it to the bator that has the 40 eggs. I am new to this, only on my 2nd hatch, but adding to an already started hatch was a huge problem for me in the way that...once you get to lockdown for the first eggs (40), you can't open the incubator to turn the last...
I had 6 babies due today. 3 Old English bantams, and 3 silver pencilled wyandoyyes. All fine at lockdown. 2 were born YESTERDAY...1 early in the morning, 1 in the afternoon. (both of these were the old english) 1 pipped last night, and has literally been all day today trying to get out. Not your...
