| Guinea Keets |
On May 5th, I decided to hatch about eight guinea eggs, but I wasn't confident we had a male servicing the hens.No matter, I thought I would try. Ten days in I candled and discarded those that didn't show any development, which left me with five eggs. Last night as I checked on the progress of the eggs, I noticed a few cracks on a couple of eggs. This morning we have three chicks that have hatched, which seem to be a little camera shy. The other two eggs haven't start showing signs of hatching yet.
After I gathered the eggs for hatching, a male guineas stepped forward a let his presences be known. He was spotted mounting the hens and terrorizing Rudy the Rooster by chancing him around the yard. So much for the rooster ruling the roost.
