Yesterday the first of two wild guinea nests hatched. The female is on her first nest. She chose a live oak trunk to collect the eggs and set on.
We were wondering what kind of mommy she would be. Apparently she is an inattentive one because we found the hatching keets exposed and ants attacking the keets still in process of hatch. We collected five keets and carried them to the brooder. At sunset the runaway mom returned to her ruined nest. Today in the brooder we have four keets.
