While he quickly ran to get the incubator (which was finally re-boxed and re-homed to the garage on Sunday) I grabbed a cardboard egg container, lined it with kleenex and ran out near the horses' pen to grab as many eggs as I could.
I left the eggs in the guest bedroom for the night, where they would be stored around 70 degrees or so.
This morning I will add 18 eggs (or more?) to the warm incubator and we'll wait 23-28 days and see what happens with this bunch.
Maybe this time, we'll end up with more than just 2 keets.
Hmmmm, maybe this is going to become a side business. :-)
"Hmmmm, maybe this is going to become a side business." ... or, you'll have a thousand guinees running around and have to build an addition to that coop! Do you think youi'll ever reach a point where you can't eat their eggs cuz they could have been babies? Just sayin', cuz you're so tender hearted...
