We're up one guinea keet as of a few minutes ago.

I am picking up more guinea eggs this afternoon. Good, old incubator-style, this time, lol.

The baby chicks and their mommies. Omg. Love your pics and videos guys.

My Spot has ventured out with her two. She started getting nastier with the older chicks I tried to give her. So the 11 2-week olds have been moved to the brooder coop with dog pen. The 3 rooster-like 6week olds have graduated to being with the grownups. They hide a lot, but big enough to fend for themselves.
I can’t manage to get a decent pic of Spots babies. One is from a RSL hen and the other is from one of the black Cochin hens (I think).

Second baby came today but it looks like it’s intestines are out or something I don’t know what to do

Are you sure it’s not the yolk sack that hasn’t been fully absorbed?

Well I don’t know I’ve never seen this type of stuff or hatched so I just don’t know

I will post weekly updates of the checks until I am able to sex them. At that time I will have to sort the cockrells from the pullets.

Your pictures are adorable! Charlotte looks like such a good momma, and those chicks are precious!

You know we’ll be happy to help you with that!

Prudence has come off her nest with her chicks, moved five feet and set up house . . . in the doorway of the coop at peak laying time, where she’s probably wondering, poor brainless thing, why she can’t get any peace.
