    We hatched in egg cartons

    Hello- I have read several posts concerning use of egg cartons for last days of hatch. We have recently hatched several full batches of guinea eggs in a hovabator and got tired of the time required to turn 50+ eggs. We have now hatched three batches using egg cartons for the full incubation...

    Help! I lost my guinea keet!

    I'm glad you found your keet. I thought it strange it went to sleep isolated from the other birds. We have over a hundred keets of various ages in several different makeshift brooders. We have had several escape and they normally call loudly when separated from the other birds. Hypothermia...

    Turn now or not?

    Update-Thanks to all for the turning advice. It "turned" out to be moot. The hatched keets stumbling over the unhatched eggs turned them probably several times an hour. I didn't anticipate that. It must not have hurt much. We have been hatching for 36 hours now and still going. About 40 of the...

    Turn now or not?

    Hi again- I'm sure it is really day 28, we miscalculated. The hens were on more eggs than they could cover, and apparently the first days they were sitting the eggs weren't very warm. We are up to 9 energetic keets. They are turning some of the eggs with their movements. They are really...

    Turn now or not?

    Hello- This is our first post. I'll introduce myself better later, but I have a pressing question. We have two incubators loaded with 80+ purple guinea eggs that came from 4 hens we started with last year. We quickly bought incubators when a weasel killed two of our sitting hens. We apparently...
