Hatched my first Guinea this morning!

[LillyAcresFarm]

I have 6 guinea eggs on lockdown. 3 white and 3 royal purple. Last night I saw one white had Pipped on day 24. Then another white and a royal purple were rocking back and forth. This morning I woke up to a beautiful white guinea keet. I can’t wait for the others to hatch. Now I have pearl, white, pied pearl, lavender and hopefully a royal purple. I really want to breed some pied lavender next year! So excited.

This one is a farm innovators pro series incubator. I bought it from tractor supply. I have a little giant as well that I use.

Thanks for sharing the video - it looks like your hatch is going so well!!! How many have hatched? How many are left? Where were the eggs from?

I have 5 hatched so far. 3 white and 2 royal purple. 1 left to go but it hasn’t yet Pipped! They were shipped eggs!

Excellent hatch rate for shipped eggs! Do you have other guineas already?
