Today we decided to catch the baby chicken. He was doing well with the momma guinea, but she was getting lazy about sitting on her other eggs. We are still hoping she will hatch out some keets.
Catching him was not difficult. Bessie threw out some corn and I caught the little guy with our pool net. He is not particularly happy being all by himself, but he has settled down and at least seems less nervous than he was.
We also decided to try and improve our odds of getting some keets by removing some of the eggs from the nest and putting them in our incubator. They should only have three or four more days to go, so hopefully if we can keep them warm until then, they will hatch.
