We're not sure what's happening... but something is!
We just happened to notice this earlier, and we are hoping for the best! It looks like the Guinea Fowl that @vcelier and @matthewtiii helped us buy last year may be producing a new generation!
IS IT TIME?
Normally, this Guinea fowl hen looks like this, and is covering her clutch of eggs. Recently we were able to sneak a peek underneath her, and we saw something amazing!
One of the eggs has begun to crack! This could either be a good sign or a bad sign, but we are hoping for the best. We checked the egg by picking it up, and we could feel something moving inside of it!
We're not sure if this means that our first "homemade" keet will be hatching today, but we are optimistic! She's got twenty little eggs total, so we might end up with a nice new flock! Trust me, we'll keep you posted on this one! Hopefully there will be good news soon!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-a-bad-proof....
Cool!...:)...

Looks like the beginning of unzipping. Have you candled eggs yet? Your kids will love it! You hold a bright flashlight to the large end and you can see all the veins, position of the air sack and whether or not the chick/keet has penetrated the air sack. Carefully and gentlely this can be done at any time, once in a while, you get really lucky and see a chick foot or clear outline of them moving!
Crossing my fingers for your keets!

Amazing development. Congratulations. 20 eggs quite too many for one hen to lay.

Yes, those are the untended purposes, plus pest control and an alarm system.

I think so! These eggs are really tough though and the keet inside is so small... we'll see how it works out.

Hopefully the egg will hatch perfectly, you have to take care of it well, so it will grow faster.
