guinea hen hatch along

Geez I can’t find an appropriate reaction emoji for this post! I laughed I cried… Yes, it’s great that you might have someone reliable who wants them. I do have repeat hatching egg buyers who seem responsible. I had a lovely conversation with the woman who hatched a slate keet from our eggs!

sorry about the lack of punctuation but yeah i think hats funny is on one side of the swamp are animal lovers who tak in rescues the other side is a farm that abuses their animals

It is normal to have guineas hatch on days 26 thru 28. If your temperature is running a little high, people have had them hatch as early as day 24.

so far 6 keets and lots of pips
I've been so excited i kind of stayed up all night watching them with a few ¨naps¨ in between that was most likely a bad idea

You might try posting on the Emergencies/Diseases forum. Good luck with the rest of the hatch!’
