    White Guineas

    I have Buff Dundottes that might as well be whites. I also have LGDs though, so the guineas are pretty safe.

    Second season pearl guineas nesting

    Well, I really, really like these Buff Dundotte guineas. Not only have I yet to see them jump up on any kind of vehicle, but today I was looking out across the sheep paddock and saw a guinea with 8 little white balls of fluff behind her. My daughter and I stole those little balls of fluff so...

    Gotta love Geese

    I've got three pairs of American Buffs, some goslings, and a few eggs left in the incubator. I've been battling infertility, so am going to put in a deeper pool in an effort to improve on that.

    Value of American Buff Geese?

    I had a lady contact me about three months ago to see if I had a Buff American gander available. It seems she bought a trio from Metzer, but she thinks that she has three females instead of a trio. Two of the birds nested this spring. Then she contacted me later to see if I had any male...

    Broody Guinea Fowl

    Good to know about the broom. Thank you. I have two broody guineas sharing the nest. I intend to use a fishing net when they hatch out the keets, but a broom might be good, too.

    Does this look like a Guinea mule?

    I put two eggs from my Dark Brahma hen that was raised with Buff Dundottes in the incubator. They turned out to be fertile. These two hatched out this morning.

    Broody Guinea Fowl

    That's a good idea, but I've yet to catch her off the nest. I would substitute guinea eggs from another nest.

    Broody Guinea Fowl

    I have a broody guinea in one of my barns right now. She started by laying in a nest filled with eggs from my dark Brahma. I would steal the guinea eggs but leave the chicken eggs. Now that she has gone broody, the poor Brahma is forced to lay nearby. The guinea will not share the nest. Other...

    Help with hatching keets!

    Keets do better under lights rather than plates. I'd take the rest and stick them in an incubator or hatcher. The hen has already shown you that she's not willing.

    Does anyone here wash their goose eggs?

    Meanwhile, I watch eggs in the incubator get overtaken by growths and never hatch.

    Does anyone here wash their goose eggs?

    I've had a terrible time with eggs going rotten in the nest when I let the geese keep their eggs. I bought some eggs from another breeder and decided to wash and disinfect them prior to setting. Out of nine eggs, I have eight fertile eggs. After I checked a nest and discovered the prior three...

    Second season pearl guineas nesting

    I found another nest, right near the barn they were raised in. It's in a tall clump of grasses. I didn't want to disturb it but was worried about rain. Hubby took an old glass patio door and four concrete blocks and put over the nest. The guineas accepted it. Yesterday, I noticed a guinea on the...

    Considering Guineas

    I prefer the word "primitive." They are adapted to a drier, warmer climate, so a lot of their mothering problems are due to being moved to a wetter, colder climate.

    Second season pearl guineas nesting

    Well, I've got nine guinea hens and five cocks. I raised them with one Dark Brahma chick, which turned out to be a pullet. She serves as a pretty good anchor for the flock. When April rolled around, I went searching for Guinea nests. I didn't find any guinea nests, but I did find the pullet's...

    Congratulations! Might I ask why you chose two different breeds?

    Incubating shipped sebastopol geese eggs

    After the first week, I cool the eggs for five minutes. I mist them before I put them back in the incubator. The second week, they get 10 minutes cooling, and the third week you can got to 15 minutes if you have the nerve. I forgot and left mine out for over an hour two days ago. Today I have...

    Can anyone tell me what day of incubation this goose egg is on?

    So, are you going to let it cool off daily now and spray it with tepid water?

    What incubator do you use?!?

    I just got an Incuview incubator to use as a hatcher. Because I'm still zeroing in one of my old Roll-x's, I set the eggs in the Incuview. It accommodated nine goose eggs and a dozen duck eggs. It doesn't rotate the eggs as fully as I like, so I hand-turn the eggs once a day to make sure they...
