I've been looking for guinea eggs if you have any you'd like to swap for

They've been mating like mad, and the hens are building nests in the coop, but I haven't found any eggs yet. Perhaps they're laying in the woods? I'll have to follow them around this weekend. We just have pearl guineas, but if I find some eggs I'll let you know.

You can check my swap page in my siggy to see if there's anything you'd like to swap for them. I also have Call ducks not listed on there. I have 2 orders of them to get out & then they'll be available again. I had to stop sending to do a fertility check. They are good to go now.

Broke down and bought a second incubator for the surprise batch of eggs I received yesterday. I feel like I've officially gone over to the dark side.

Only problem: The box says this incubator holds 50 eggs and I only have 27 to put in it... No, No, No. Stop thinking like that!

I have 3 bators going & am out of space in all 3.

I can send you some mixed breed chicken eggs (red star or black silkie roosters over RIR, GLW and red star hens) but that's all I have laying... at this moment.

I just realized I never posted this picture on this thread. This was my natural egg art for the Easter Hatch. I call it "Homage to the 2nd Annual Cinco de Mayo Turkey Hatch"


Also this thread needs more turkey pictures.
My Cinco De Mayo Hatch last year:
Touring the front yard;


Crashing the party;


Inspecting the roses;


Invading the horse barn;



and routine bouts of gang fighting.






Fairly beat up, but proud papas.

Thanks

but I was getting the frowny face from DH last night, so I'm not going to push my luck. (He still has to build all the brooders and coops for the ones we currently have cooking.

) I better quit while I'm ahead.

But Honey, I didn't order any eggs. They just arrived out of nowhere.
