EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Sometimes... Right now, she needs a pointy hat and a broom and the photo would make more sense. She's been broody for weeks now - last year, she broke after a while. Looks like I'll need to break her this time (if I wasn't so overloaded with chicks this year I'd let her sit - maybe next year). Now I have DUELING broodies - Switch has joined her. I move them off the nest every time I go out there. They are NOT amused.

And I heard Puppy make her egg song outside of the paddock today, so she may have started an outside nest - I live in fear of that, because if she goes broody on a hidden nest, I may not be able to find her and I could lose her to a predator like I lost the last one who did that.



Because guineas are hoodlums and delinquents with voices like car alarms. Ralphie, Banti, please help explain...



Need to photoshop that pointy hat on her one of these days...



OMG, Sally, I think my brain just blew up with cuteness. :love TOO SWEET!!! TOO SWEET!!!! I need insulin, STAT!!!!! :th



We need this on video - PLEASE!!!!!!!!



:frow (x5)



Love that sweet boy... :love

Got the stock pot going. It's like deja vu, all over again. :lol:

I like guineas thank you very much. Besides, I need them for tick control.
 
They are really equal opportunity gangsters, they will take anything they can get their toes into..

They also just liked to scare people and see how fast they could hit the brakes to avoid the "innocent" little bird that just ran in front of them.
 
Kristin, I'll back you up on the evil guinea thing. They're murderers.

I have another broody, too---Bella again. This is her 2nd time and she isn't even 10 months old quite yet.
I have one super-glued to the nest, also; not a year old yet......hasn't even been laying full size eggs more than 2-3 months....one of Tucker's daughters. I'm gonna let her keep the eggs. Not even sure how many she's setting, but might have a few extras by the time we get back here the first week of July.

I have several broodies right now. Two I'm not even checking to see what they have. The others I've kicked off the nest so many times they now go running, screaming whenever I approach the nest boxes. I'm sure the neighbors think I'm killing them. :lau

Pity, they should have accelerated.
