YELLING SO LOUD! What should I do?

[terrilhb]

My 1st time ever hatching guinea's. I know they are loud but I have one that hatched yesterday so he has been in the bator scince than. They are all making noise but this one is like screaming. Do you all think maybe he is starving? I would take him out but everytime I turn around another egg is cracking and I am afraid that if I open it I will shrink wrap the rest. I don't know what to do. I don't want him to starve. Please tell me what to do.

If there are 2 dried and fluffed keets go ahead and take them out and move them to the brooder. You can put a mirror in the brooder so it gives them the illusion there are twice as many keets. He's not starving, lol, newly hatched keets will do fine for 3 days without food and water because they have absorbed the rest of the yolk just prior to hatching.

Thank you so much. I did not know they were so fiesty when they hatch. Right from the begining

Yep, they get up and get going pretty quick. Once there are a few that are dried, fluffed, up on their feet and bulldozing around in the hatcher I quickly reach in, grab them and move them to the brooder, but leave the wet ones until they are dry.

Turn off the lights so it is dark in the bator they will sleep that way while the others hatch just like under momma guinea.
