Hello,
Our guinea hen proudly paraded with her 24 babies yesterday!!!
Only 2 eggs were not hatched; we placed them both under our silky, where one hatched.
We were able to capture all of the keets and put them in the coop.
Fortunately, mom and dad joined them!
I was a nervous wreck because Sheba and Madagascar paced back and forth, while stepping on the keets.
Last night, Sheba no longer wanted to be a part of his new family. I opened the coop door for his escape, but he had no idea that it was an exit.
I finally had to remove the coop roof so he could fly to freedom and roost on his new favorite spot, the electrical wire!
Is this a common amount of keets hatched by a guinea hen???
I am still in awe that she laid so many eggs and all but 1 has hatched!
We live in Louisiana and have had record rainfall over last month.
Everything I read about broody Guinea hens convinced me that we may have 5 hatchlings!
