australorp hatches guineas!

Jackie, that is so sweet of you. I don't even hear them anymore, I am sure they are long gone. I will have to go to the hatchery in Lebanon if I can't find someone around here who has some for sale. My one lonely keet will need some company for sure. If I don't find one I might take you up on that offer. Thanks so much.

Carrie, You might try Estes in Springfield. They may have some due to hatch. Here is a link to their hatch dates:

Have any more returned home?

Hi, and thanks ...no others have returned. I went outside and don't hear them at all. I really think they are just too young to find their way home. We are only 35 miles from Lebanon so I may get some there. thanks a bunch!
I just posted an ad on GOIN want ads. They cover the three counties surrounding me asking to buy two or three keets. We will see what happens.

Gosh, I wish you were closer! We have plenty keets and I'd be happy to share with you.

Dalia, I am so impressed, I never could tame mine down. Wilder than mad hatters. Maybe I need fewer to deal with?

I think I will bring that single one back into the house and put it in a dog cage so I can handle it. Thanks for sharing your advice. I had tried handling the thirteen but they just wouldn't accept me.

Ok, thanks to Ann of our very own BYC in Ava I got some purple keets today plus some silkies. They are so cute. Wild though as usual.

The silkies are older but are snuggling the babies!!

Ok, I will try it with one or two. I am having no problem with the silkies as they seem to want to be held.
