He just assumes that there is no rooster, so no babies....I have about 2 more weeks to figure out how to break the guinea news to him...LOL It is easier to get forgiveness than permission!

My husband says that all the time, ( he'll probably stop soon) and now that I'm addicted to the guineas and chickens I think it will come in handy for me as well!!

One hatched!!! Look!

Awe! It looks like a Pearl keet!

I also have a broody hen setting on 12 guinea eggs! All of the eggs are Lavender/Pied though!

It's real cute - cute little girl and a cute little guinea.

Thanks! We are thrilled! Thank you for identifying the pearl too. I got them from Southern Farm Hatchery in Mississippi and wasn't told exactly what I was getting. Can anyone identify the other two?

This is the proud mama... I just can't bring myself to take the keets from her. She is so happy being a mom. She wants to peck me every time I put my hand in there, so holding them is problematic too.

Um, You have 1 Pied, 1 Pearl, and 1 Buff or Lavender very hard to tell! Could I have a better picture of that one?

Here you go!

Ohhhhhh there is nothing cuter than a guinea keet! Congrats on the new babies.....

ellie_may12: Um, I'd say a Buff or a Buff Dundotte.

It kind of looks like a Pied Buff!

Why don't you just send it on over to me ..

How many eggs is the hens still setting on?
