Babies are here!!!

[echobird]

My guinea hens second hatch of this year. We took the first babies away to soon due to predator attacks (lost half of them) so she started laying again.
This time we are prepared. Coop is secure and we will be moving a rabbit hutch into it to keep the babies in until they are bigger.
Pictures coming after the last little guy hatches.

Really? You tease us with a "baby" title and then don't have any pics?????? I'll now have to stalk this thread until pics are posted .....

 

[echobird]

Hahaha, sorry. I really wanted to take pics but they are all snuggled under momma bird and I see several are still hatching. I dont want to disturb her too much.

Okay I gave in and snuck a baby from her. Pics! Here's one of jealous Echo.

Awww, look! It's a babyyyyy! Squeeee to the 10th degree!

And a jealous Echo is also very cute!

P.S. I am a sucker for babies of any kind ....

They are super cute!

Thank you! I can't wait till they are a little more energetic. The little one I took pics of was a recent hatch. You can see how tired he looks.

It's like a "where am I, why am I here, who am I?".

Awwwww, so precious!

18 hatched. One egg is in the house still hatching. Momma bird isn't sitting on it anymore and it was cold in the coop so we brought inside in the warmth. Hopefully it hatches, we heard it pip several times. Here are more pics!

I'd love to add a video but don't know how.

 

[greys4u]

I'd love to add a video but don't know how.

Easiest way it to upload the video to YT and then just press the Media button (here on AA, above the text) and paste the URL from YT there.

So these little itty bitty cuties are going to look like this

once they grow up?

 

[Birdbabe]

I want to snuggle with them!

I have already made a video but I dont have a youtube account. I'll look into making one.
@SandraK Yes thats what they will look like, only the picture you posted is of a pearl guinea. These babies are Royal Purples. A lot of people think they don't look cute as adults but I think they are adorable. I guess Im a bit biased. lol.
