I haven't had 1 bit of trouble out of the keets and I always use them for my turkeys. I only plan on keeping them in there for a week. They are eating and drinking good now and all 6 are doing great.

I don't think the lady I got the eggs from would let me borrow her hens. Also, People pick up the eggs so the hen will keep laying. If you let her sit them, she will lay 4-6 and then go broody and stop laying. Pick them up and she keeps laying longer.
Well, I have 6 out and the other 3 eggs haven't even pipped. I'm not giving up on them yet. I have the 6 in the brooder and they are eating and drinking. So far I have 3 black shoulders, 1 IB, 1 silver pied and 1 emerald. The ones that haven't hatched are an emerald spalding, pied and an IB.
I have had 3 hatch today and a bunch more pipping. I don't like to open the hatcher until they are done. My question is, will peachicks be fine for a few days in the hatcher just like turkeys, guineas, chicks ect?
I started with 12 eggs and 9 develloped and 6 hatched. I opened the last 3...
