Brooding Guineas

I discovered a new baby in the coop today. The first of the brooding Guinea chicks has hatched. I will admit I was surprised because he was under the hanging feeder and I thought at first I had a mouse in the hen house only to discover a newly hatched chick. I maneuvered her back to the moms, without getting my hand pecked to shreds and she was immediately put back under one of the broodies, so I couldn't get a picture of her. Now I get to wait and see how many more eggs hatch and if any of them end up being the chicken eggs that were laid in their nests.
