Do you think that having eggs out in the 100 degree heat all day will be good still? They are fresh just laid and were sitting in a bucket waiting to go inside for 8 hrs.
I had a guinea sitting on ~22 eggs in the wood pile. Everything was going good up until the last week ( they would have hatched this week). She started leaving the eggs for a few hours and hanging out with the other 3 guineas. Then she just came back and stayed. I looked at the nest and...
Someone bought 3 guinea keets yesterday they are 6 weeks old. We forgot to tell him to keep them locked up. He had a 4 ft fence and they flew over into the woods. Unfortunately I just cut there winds the night b/f. They were raised with chickens and he has a few plus 4 of my chickens. Also...
we are going to be using round up on some of the weeds around the fence line it will not be used around the chickens but they free range. How long would you keep them locked up after spraying?
How long is the laying season? My guinea used to lay there eggs in the nesters with the chickens and I did find a nest out in the field 3 weeks ago but not eggs since.
I'm over ran by mice in the barn with the chicken. What to do? I can't put poison out b/c the chickens are free range and I have dogs. The mouse traps the just work. I like the sticky traps but I don't want the chickens to get it on them plus the barn is very dusty.
I found a guinea nest under the wood pile. I don't have much predators so that's not a issue. She is up to 9 eggs when will she start sitting? The nest is also in the mud since we are having lots of storms.
So far I have 3 with more to come. They are all from my 4 guinea's I have 2 pearls (male & female) 1 white male and 1 lavender female. Can't wait to see what colors I will get. They survived 17 hrs of no power yesterday. I did up them under my 2 hens that went broody ( I thought) but the...
What happens when you cross a black sex link with a mix roo. Will the pullets still be black females and roos have white? Not sure what my roo is mixed with.
How long would you wait for the rest of the eggs to hatch? I had chicks hatch yesterday and the day before. I don't hear peeping or see holes. Look like chicks are in there but don't know if there alive.
Chick are just starting to hatch and everyone looks good but one. I've seen chicks with the yellow yolk sac on the belly but this one has what looks like its guts hanging out.
I'm on day 2 with my LG and this is my first time hatching eggs in it. Temp is holding great what should the humidity be? I'm using a indoor outdoor temp and humidity and just stuck the cord in the top hole laying on top of the eggs. Right now the humidity is 55% good / bad?
Forgot to add I'm...
This is my first time hatching eggs. I bought a LG incubator and I'm hand turning them. How can I keep them from rolling on the wire? And when its time to hatch what should I put the eggs in the stay cleaner?
