Lonely first glimpse of the world.

I can't believe your missing this Ray

so long as you don't miss the hatch, Lonely might be able to forgive you.

I'm hopping she is the only of her colour so I can tell her apart

Sounds like she's been through a tough lot.
I really hope she pulls through okay!!

Great to see the picture of her egg intact.

I'm here. I'll be here all day.

SO exciting!!!! Does that mean she's going to be fine?

That's cute. What does the "SDA" on the egg stand for?

 

[guinea fowl galore]

Yeah I think she'll be ok now.
SDA stands for sort of detached aircell

when I was candling I wrote that to keep track of everything. The SDA were the ones that survived the best. Only one of the MDA ( < mostly) survived and all the DA didnt even begin.

Yowch. I'll just pretend I know what's going on.

But I kinda get it. I'm glad she's okay.

So how many chicks do you reckon you'll be getting?

 

[guinea fowl galore]

Arg. Just got a text saying one of the eggs might be starting to zip. Not Lonely. And I've still got a few hours before I get home.

Good luck Guinea. Don't think Lonely is gonna be lonely with u around watching every breath. Hope she's a different colour for u too! Make life easier

Zip?

Hope Lonely holds out at least!!

One of the eggs is almost out. Zipping is making cracks around the shell before it pops out. I got sent a video. iPhones

And I'm here, standing in a studio in togs

We have a baby.
And I missed it.
The chick sitters say it's blue.
