Time for a vote, from those that have followed this thread ... Which do you find more precious: Little Miss' first lil' fluffy silkie chick ... or ... Little Miss' confident smile of accomplishement? I think this is an experience that you will carry w/ you for your entire life, as a newly...

Not sure how they count the days ... starting from the moment they're placed inside, or after some period of time w/in which the eggs reach the proper temperature? But, if from the moment she set the eggs: Starting on NOV 22 @ noon makes NOV 23 @ noon the first full day in incubator (Day 01 of...

Throw some marbles or somethin' in your water, or replace it w/ a coffee cup upside down on a saucer, so your chick can't get the chance to drown (and put that cat ... anywhere else ~'-) This is the 22nd day in the incubator. Sorry for yellin' so loud, but wanna make sure folks notice that...

So very sorry you're havin' to go through such difficulties, but knowing *exactly* when you started to incubate will help these good folks offer their best advice as to what should be done ... ... you were still expecting the eggs to arrive 23 days ago, but posted that you "...started...

I've been just followin' along, as I've never incubated/hatched, ... so very sorry this has happened to ya. The ones that began pipping? Carefully make a hole in the membrane(s), so that air can get in. Beyond that? You need those w/ experience (hopefully, by posting, it will push you thread...

The anticipation, and the suspense, of this day by day play by play is better 'n any book or movie that comes to mind. Thank you, all, for sharing your experiences as you have ~'-)

I had a recovering chicken in here that typed while I was tryin' to, but she couldn't spell and use emoticons like Butter can ~'-)

No, ma'am, there ain't no internet device that allows a man to reach out 'n touch a woman's hand. But, if I were in PA? I'd sure be savin' all my dimes, and would stop by often for eggs ~'-)

A good woman's laughter, and her happy tears, are the things any man should hope most to be the cause of ...

Then, you're gonna love bemba's red-eyed cinnamon pied ... as guineas go, they're the prettiest I've ever seen ~'-)

I'm so blind that I can't even tell you what colors they are now and, although I now regret not doin' it, I didn't pay much attention to which was, or became, which ... all birds are talked to as they're handled at least twice daily, with the first one in hand bein' called #1, and the last ones...

See what I mean, folks? She brings that warm glow, and produces a rainbow to boot (thank you ~'-) And, w/ apology to Silkie, but there are indeed two kinds of Guinea Fowl that are very quiet ... The first is the sleeping Guinea, as w/ the keets pictured above. The second, so I'm told...

Sure can't measure that one by how I feel ~'-)

I was just sittin' here, thinkin' of the development of humans, 'cause of you ... the frontal lobe doesn't fully develop w/in us 'til we're older, and girls develop more quickly than boys: The female fully matures into who/what she is at around 26, whereas the few of us males that ever grow up...

Congratulations on your 'picture of the week' and -- still, to this day -- havin' the cutest page on the 'net, ever. <-- period. Hopefully, Little Miss will visit it, too ... can only imagine how well she'd grow, in all that sunshine that is your own ~'-)

Well, it ain't entirely fair for me to place all the blame on you, for my havin' to spend the money/time in settin' up for incubating. There are others on here, like Sally (who may very well be made almost entirely of sunshine), and some very selective breeders of guinea fowl, that had already...

This single experience, I would think, justifies all the expenses incurred ... gonna have to build myself incubating and candling equipment, just 'cause you went 'n told me that.

Best of luck w/ your hatch, and be sure to update all these good folks that took the time to give ya such great input (I've been followin' this thread, but keepin' my keyboard unusually quiet, as this ain't my area of expertise ~'-)

Not sure on that one, but it's probably outlined in that last post's 'click to view' part. And, your Grandmother is probably gonna kill you anyhow, just for gettin' chickens ~'-)
