Four of our guinea hens are working on building a big clutch over by our compost bin. It's in a protected area, so we're going to let them sit on it and see what happens. Can't wait for keets!
awwwww someday I will get one or two!! awwwwwww what color will they be?
My Guinea and Turkey hatch dates were calculated by the hatch date app. The Farmer that I am incubating them for probably did get them from nests so they probably did incubate for a while first.SilkieSensation, it's most likely my error, since I have two more pips this morning. The first little bugger finished hatching at 6am with a little help. I normally don't help, but I noticed that he pipped at the wrong end of the egg, and had completed his zip, but it was too narrow for him to get leverage to push the cap off.
It was funny to watch him come out butt-first though. I think turning the eggs till hatch disoriented them, because I have another pip at the wrong end. Ack, these turkeys are going to be the death of me!
Early is always better than late.....................late makes me nervous.My chicks were supposed to hatch Friday, and this morning I woke up to a lonely zipper. Upside down to boot!I was going to lockdown this afternoon. Don't those boogers have a calendar in there??? I don't like early, early makes me nervous!
