25 Guinea Eggs in the Bator - Final Photos - 8 hatched

We had one for a short time and had to give her back. She was too loud for our neighborhood. She was a very early riser and started doing whatever it is you call the noise that guineas make as early as 4:30am. It was awful. She got loose and flew about 30 feet up into a hemlock and broadcast her noise all over our hilltop! Our neighbors wanted to kill us. So the answer is LOUD. But that's all relative based on your situation I suppose.

I think if you keep them in a group of say 16 they should remain preatty quiet.

Henry, even the babies raise a ruckus. I have never seen something so new zip around as fast as these thing do. Lightening speed! In the brooder, upstairs at the front of the house, with the door closed, I can still hear them downstairs, in my livingroom with the TV on and my kids playing and talking. They are that loud.

MC, some of these were supposed to be lavander but they don't look it. They are dark solid bodies with a pied face. Not chickmunk stripped like the pearl. Other than my very own keet that hatched I don't know for sure what they are now.

I'll get some photos and post them this morning. Maybe you all can identify them for me.

Congrats MissPrissy! Keep us updated with pics! I am very interested to see how they turn out.

My lavender came out lavender colored, same as they will be when older.

Well, then, the eggs I bought as lavanders are not lavanders. What are they?

Pied face something?

Here are the ones I know are Pearls.

With people asking their size here they are with a cell phone to help.

Do you clearly see the difference in the 2 guineas?

These guineas are the fastest cleanest hatch I have ever had.

Wonder what they would do if that phone rang?

Very cute and tiny! It's a good thing they aren't out with your adults in that pasture! You would never find them.
