Guinea Fowl Eggs Hatching Out

This morning two of the guinea fowl eggs I have in the incubator were pipped when I went to have a look. It is exactly day 28 so the guinea fowl eggs are right on schedule to hatch out today.

It is always exciting to see the keets hatch out. I can hear chirping already. It is even more exciting as my new friend Sallyanne, who bought some guinea fowl hatching eggs recently and now as a result has two beautiful guinea fowl, is hoping to take some of the keets and foster them onto one of her broody Silkies so that she can extend her flock of guinea fowl.

Sallyanne has just been in touch to say that her guinea fowl are doing fine. Here are photos of Sallyanne’s two guinea fowl.

I will keep you posted on the hatching news as it breaks!!!

  2. I can’t quite tell how big they are from the photo, but they are surely cute!
