That's an understatement! lol
OOOH and my Marans and Ameraucanas went into lockdown this morning! Out of 18 eggs only 9 have made it this far, 6 Ameraucanas and 3 Marans.
Luckily I have a dozen BC Marans eggs on the way! oh and 15 Barnevelders, and 12 (possibly 12 more from another source) Welsummers. Looks like no summer vacation for me this year lol Oh well! I would so rather hatch a few more batches of eggs!
Boy I hope you have a couple of big brooders to put all these babies in !
You are going to have chicks eveywhere !!!
My "middle" brooder is on the little kitchen counter, and this morning the 4 day old guinea keets changed their peeps to a "wah-peep" noise, so must have at least 1 hen.
They are starting to morph a little too, heads elongating, wing feathers naturally growing and drooping and they walk so differently.
I do have a question for you all, I have not raised Guinea before, so want to ask :
Will pearl and royal purple guineas mate ?
Will 2 different varieties of Guineas mate or do they only mate with their own ?
I will go on the Guinea thread later, but just wondering if any of you know.
I have 4 home made brooders
might make a few more just in case I go too crazy with hatchings
As for the guineas? not a clue!
Wish I did because BF is talking about saying yes to them for next year!
Good luck!
