We are on 9 acres. The guineas are known to go over two properties, and we've had no problems. We have had a coyote problem off and on, so the neighbor got a donkey. Since then I haven't seen any in the last two months. No idea how old, he has a full very large tail. The vet is a little over 30...

Thank you PeepsCA! I've been reading as much as I can so I do the right things and give the best care possible.

I have five hens that are over a year old and 10 that where hatched in the spring. I live in south texas where the summer was extremely hot and dry. Had a misting system going all summer, but no eggs. Then when the weather started cooling off the older ones molted. I have been waiting patiently...

Update...... Momma hatched 5 keets, 4pearl 1 pied. I got one yesterday, and the other four today. Mom was very good for the few days she had them, even taking they to the coop and the four spent last night in there with her. I put eggs on lockdown today after finding three had pipped, so we...

Background..... Had five guineas on nest. In the last week all but two were raided by something and took all eggs. Eggs are scheduled to hatch (day 28) on 21st. Guinea was not on nest last night, and did not see her this morning. Temps here are 100+ during the day and in the 80ies at night. Do...

Finally found a free moment to respond. The bator is a Hova-1588, the temp was 99.7 to 99.5 except for about an hour when the power went out and it dropped to 97.3. Humidity was 30 to 40 till lock down when it was raised to 70. The 26th is day 28 and we have eight that have not hatched yet. I...

Quote: Thank you!! The eggs are from my flock. I've been collecting as I find nests, and will have the next batch ready when these are done.

As of right now we have 26 keets in the inside brooder. There are twelve unhatched eggs in the bator. One passed this morning, and one pipped but never made it out. It had yellow liquid coming out of shell. I'm thinking not a bad hatch for a first timer. Will leave the others till after the...

I just started with Guineas and chickens in July of last year. Got my incubator almost a month ago, filled it with Guinea eggs that were scheduled to hatch on the 26. We now have five little ones in there!!!!!! Noticed a few cracked eggs last night, first thought... what did I do wrong, and then...

Thank you for all the info!! Water is cooling, I don't have any PH so will make a trip first thing in the morning. She is in the dog crate on the porch, so I'm thinking honey is out. (don't want her to get attacked by ants.) Thank you!!!! Got it back in and she is now in the laundry room. I...

Don't know what this is. Still acting normal. Please help!!!

First time incubator buyer, is it worth the extra to by preset? Looking to hatch guinea and chickens. (not at same time) Thanks for all opinions.

Thank you all for the information!! The white guinea is on her original nest, we put the dog fence around her with plywood on top. In the morning we open it up and she seems to like that much better. Then tonight when I checked the other nests, we now have a broody up under the metal desk! There...
