Eggs and a Square Chicken

These are the lovely little guinea eggs, ready to pop in the incubator.

They’re from a mixed flock, so we have high hopes that we’ll get a veritable rainbow of little guineas…just as soon as we can turn these babies into chicks!  The problem is that our not-so-lovely little square chicken,

first-incubator 

aka incubator, has gone on the blink.  The toggle which should keep the temperature at a nice steady 99.5 degrees has come loose and won’t hold steady.   Cross your fingers for me that we can bring in a new and improved surrogate mama and get it plugged in before the eggs lose their viability–otherwise, I just may be incubating them myself!

    I plan to post oodles of pics–just so long as I can get some to hatch! The new incubator seems to be working and we’ve started that eggs, now I just have to figure out how to hold my breath for twenty-plus days!
