    humidity and hatching

    Ok, here's my question...Does higher humidity in incubator help the keets hatch? Checked keets this morning, had cracks in eggs so I added little more water to get humidity up. Hubby just called to say 4 have hatched which blows my mind they hatched that quick. Only thing I can figure is adding...

    UNHATCHED EGGS

    I had eggs that were way over due of hatched date. I candled and could see black but no movement. Last night, I pulled them from incubator and cracked egg open. There was a baby but It wasn't moving so I'm assuming I did right in pulling. My question, would it be motionless or would there be...

    sick guinea

    Two days ago I noticed my younger female guinea wasn't acting right. Feathers ruffled and kinda sluggish so I hearded her into a coop by herself and put a heat lamp on. She had clumps on her tail feathers and she seemed like she was leaving gas or pushing something out of her. There was a white...

    New babies hatching

    Mom guineas having been laying on eggs and they are now hatching. My dilemma, do I leave them in there or do I take out and put in brooder? If I leave them with mom, do I need to put chick food in for them?

    Why are eggs so shiny?

    Curious to why eggs guineas are laying on are so shiny? They weren't like that in incubator. Starting to get excited because they should be hatching in next week.

    Straddle leg..did I do brace correctly?

    Did I put the brace on correctly? She having tough time standing. Hoping she gets use to it. Both feet were straddled when she born. Couldn't get brace on and let go week hoping would get better on own. Only one leg went normal. May be too late but trying brace and was able to get on this time.

    What age can I put my keets in outside coop?

    I've read a lot of different ages. I've got a variety of ages in dog crates with the lamps. 3 of them are pretty big. I think they may be almost 8 weeks old. I just don't want to put them out and they are too cold and die.

    new guinea mom here

    We bought 4 guineas few months ago and are now incubating eggs. Question is, can you handle eggs too much? I'm so addicted to incubating and the process of hatching the eggs. We have 5 that I see activity in so I'm holding my breath hoping for at least 1 to hatch. We have them in Little Giant...
