That’s precious!!! My guinea conversation today was more banal… Speaking to Violet and Welch who are nesting in the coop: “You two have too many eggs, and I need to replace them with the expensive eggs. Why don’t you get off the nest for awhile so I can make sure they aren’t about to hatch?”...

Wow, I do hope you see Bella again! :fl My guys know when their girl is broody and don’t fuss about them being gone. I also see my broody girls off the nest twice per day, usually morning and afternoon. I’m not sure why you aren’t see Rosie off. If Bella was silently taken during the day, then...

Yes, water in the reservoir shouldn’t be in contact with keets so it’s fine. Tape can go if all eggs are hatched. Get it dark so they can dry off and rest without the more vigorous one pecking at them.

If yolks are absorbed and no obvious bleeding, leave them where they are in incubator. I’d also consider covering (without blocking air holes) or turning off lights to help them stay calm and recover. There’s not more you can do right now and it sounds like they’ve had a rough time of it and...

How’s your hatch going, Sydney?

I got a Brinsea Eco mini as a hatcher for small hatches, and it is tough to keep humidity up in that thing. I have the slits covered in tape, the reservoir full of water, plus I add a (new, clean) sponge piece that’s on a plastic lid of water. Get the sponge damp first, then add water to the lid...

Oh that’s really hard to hear that you think Nugget may have killed Blue? Is there a size difference between Nugget and PJ because one is a jumbo? Do your boys do all of those marathon chases etc? It may be impractical for you, but so far my flock seems less dangerous to each other when the...

Oh no! I’m so sorry that you lost Blue, you really loved that bird!:hit What happened?

Wow, her wings are indeed glorious with the dove grey edges in white! I can’t see dotting on the picture... :idunno Do your birds have two names each? I accidentally do that sometimes - drives my DD nuts!

Cute!!! And what colors are they again???

I’m sorry that this group of eggs didn’t work out as well as the last group!

Not encouraging, unfortunately. I would carefully open from the air cell to confirm that the embryo had died. If you open and it smells bad, that also confirms death.

Awww, I hope your egg makes it! Your keets sound like characters! I can’t wait to hear what they are getting up to.

Wow! Cool that you can see so much! The yolk isn’t absorbed until just before hatching, but I’ve never visualized it!

Wow! She is so gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

I’d love to see it!

So sorry to hear about the loss of your first set of keets! :hitYour current crop is really lovely though! :love

Neat contrast between the two! Can’t wait to see what they look like as they feather out!

What a wonderful thing to do for your grandkids!!! :love
