Guinea talk.

Okay. So, the keets came the 7th. I'm going to die from cuteness. I've never raised one day old keets until now. (They are way smaller than I expected!)

They hatched the 4th at 5:00 A.M. They shipped at 6:30 A.M. on the 5th, and came with an informative packet on how to raise keets, a 72 hour heating pad, some straw and crumble on the 7th. We ordered 5 keets, but got 6 keets. (How awesome is that?)

Sorry I couldn't post this on here sooner. I was visiting my dad this weekend, so I had no access to the keets anyway.

Congrats on the new keets...they're so cute! Did you request a certain color or did they say what color they were? They look like they will be buff dundottes but it's hard to tell from the picture.

Thank you! The keets are Lavenders, by the way.

cute little noise markers. I love Guinea's thats all I am doing next year is buy and raise Guinea's. I am truly addicted to their personalities and cuteness.

@PatrickRoo - they are adorable and so tiny at first. They look like they are doing well. We'll look forward to watching them grow. They change so quickly and grow up right before our very eyes. It sounds as though you got a good package with the hatchery providing bedding and a manual. Very helpful! Enjoy those little feather balls!

Guineas have quite a personality!

Learning them is harder with some then most. I currently have 7 adults, 4 juveniles, 6 babies. With 6 more in the incubator and more eggs coming via mail for Jumbos from a fellow byc'er.

 

[PatrickRoo]

Agreed.

I have 1 juvenile and 6 babies.

So some exciting news. My Jumbo Guinea eggs will be here either Thursday or Friday. I cannot wait to get them incubating. They will sit a day before I place them in but man oh man I am excited.
