Sunday, July 12, 2009 - Another Awesome thing!!
Our Guinea fowl have been sitting on a bunch of eggs, and yesterday two chicks hatched, and today the Mama's got out of the nest with thebabys, then went back after a few minutes. A little while later I went outside to check on the guineas, and I saw Kate on her hands and knees next to a pallet that was leaning against the shed (on the oposite wall the Mama's were, they had made a nest in the shed) so I came up to kate and asked what she was doing, my question was answered by a little chick calling for its mama. So I helped Kate get the chick out from behind the pallet. Kate took the chick into the house for everyone to see then brought it back to its mamma. About an hour later I was going to check on the guineas, and there on the side of the shed I saw a little chick (I think the same one) nodding it's little head to sleep in the sun! I was ecstatic because I got to hold the chick. I went to the house and showed everyone, and had Kate fix up the hole in the guinea nest that the baby was getting out, then returned it to its mama.
Now about a half hour ago I had just gotten on the computer, and someone came into the house yelling that the Mama and Daddy and Baby guineas were away from the nest, and Kate had found and put in the sun a chick that was hatching. I went outside and saw the egg with cracks and white around it, with a little chick beak halfway sticking out or a little hole! I watched the chick a little bit and was amazed that I could see the egg moving from the chicks breathing, and the chick was every once in a while peeping!
I went over to the nest where the rest of the eggs were, and I heard little peeps coming from the eggs that didn't have a crack or anything on them. Now that was really cool!!
I had to come in and tell everyone. Thats the excitement for the beginning of the week.
