Hi, I am totally new to this and currently a bit stumped. So, two guinea fowl have been sitting on eggs(mostly theirs, some "stolen" from the chickens if they happened to lay on the coop floor). The other day I made them furious by candling a few and there were a few embryos developing- yay!
BUT, this morning this is what I found:
One hatched looking egg- it had tiny feathers stuck to the inside of the eggshell, no keet to be found ( and meet is not with the flock). Only one hen on the nest, which happens occasionally, but she was not really sitting on the eggs, more next to them. A few eggs rolled out of nest and all my chickens milling about like gangsters.
I took a few eggs that looked like they are growing and will put them in my incubator, hoping they haven't gotten too cold. Any ideas what might have happened to the keet ?
