I don't even notice it anymore. Every now and then they'll get really loud but when they do that, there's usually something in the yard or flying above. The chickens have learned the guinea calls. They'll hide when they hear the alarm call. That's why I'd rather keep guineas and my other birds...

I had my guineas for 2 months and was ready to sell them because of how loud they are. Then a hawk landed in my pasture and they kicked its *** lol I love them now

They're actually really easy to care for. Mine were fighting over a snake this morning lol

This guinea keet hatched in the incubator yesterday. It wasn't supposed to hatch until Friday. It's my first one. I was having the worst luck hatching guineas then I heard loud chirping from the incubator. I'm glad I was home because I would have been upset if it got stuck under the turner...

My guineas are free range with my chickens and ducks. One of them actually quit hanging out with the other guineas. It stays around a buff orpington hen and a Japanese bantam rooster. I feed mine the same pellets everyone else eats.

I posted there about the keet being weak. No one ever replied and the keet dyed. I'm going to have to do some research.

It died

We make it a game. The day before hatch day, we write our guesses down and the person who gets it right chooses what's for supper for a week. It's funny how one can seem so close then be the last to hatch lol

I'm having the worst luck hatching guineas. They do fine until lock down. They'll internally pip then die. I had one hatch but it died 24 hours later. It had its guts coming out if it's navel.

This is my first attempt at hatching guineas. The first one came out last night and I thought it would be running around this morning but it's just laying around. It picks it's head up and chirps. It scoots around the hatcher but doesn't walk. I gave it some poultry drench about 3 hours ago...

I think the one on the left is Japanese bantam/buff orpington cross. What do ya'll think?

All my chicken eggs hatched but the 3 Cayuga eggs all died before pipping. I don't know why but I have a hard time hatching ducks. Out of 30 cayuga eggs,I got one baby. Thank goodness I have two broody ducks.

There's one in the batch that just hatched that could be Japanese bantam /buff orpington. It's smaller than the others and doesn't have the stripes down its back but the others do.

Most people learn from the Internet. I'm guilty! The internet will ruin your brain with the 3 million different ways they say to hatch eggs lol

It's definitely less stressful, too lol

Just curious about everyone's experience with dry hatching. My first attempt at hatching didn't go well at all. I put 40 eggs in and got 2 babies. I was so focused on humidity being perfect. My friend who raised birds way longer than me suggested dry hatching so I figured I might as well try...

Yay! I hope at least one is a girl.

Woke up to this!!

It's chirping and the ones inside the eggs chirp back. So cute

Got one chick out. It looks like it's mom(buff orpington) but is kind of small. Could be part Japanese bantam. It's yellow with a black dot on its head. It's healthy and drying off. I guess time will tell.
