I'm good thanks. I have one cayuga egg on day 21 left in my bators and 2 buff dewlap babies being shipped to me next week. That's it!

Hope you have a great hatch and sell lots of babies!!

Congrats on more dewlap babies, hope the cayuga egg makes it.
Since the vet showed you how to vent sex, do you know if Barley is a boy or girl yet?

went and checked the chicken hen when i let everyone out.
3 itty bitty guinea keets and 1 ext pipped.
1 of the keets is pied.
which is a first for us.
we have had guineas for atleast 6 years.
introduced new blood about 5 yrs ago. and got lilac from the eggs as well as pearls.
we always get a few lavendars in each hatch but mostly pearls.
well this little baby is clearly pied!

Thanks, Julie!

I tried to vent sex Barley, but she (I'm guessing) was struggling too much and I could not get her to relax enough to do it. I did, however, vent sex a grey dewlap that I thought was a boy and while nothing "popped out", it was not a cavity looking hole like Spirit girl, so I think I got it right. I will be taking Spirit back to dvm for follow up in a few weeks. I figured I'd haul all my dewlaps down with her and have dvm do it. That way, I'm not second guessing if I sexed them correctly.

Good idea.
