Ordered 36 guinea eggs of varying colors and hatched them in the incubator. Unfortunately only 16 hatched, but that is still plenty for us.

Guinea eggs in the incubator

As part of this new batch I moved the guinea ‘house’ across the hall in the barn so that they can eventually free range from the lower part of the barn instead of through the area we keep the tractor, avoiding a huge mess.  Below are a few shots of the build-out process and end result.

Very secure!

They came in for almost a week this time to clear out more sediment, direct stream and spring flows, and prepare for the final clean-out in the fall.
