My first batch off eggs are due to hatch on Friday/Saturday this coming week. ASA I get them out (provided it all went well), I would like to get the incubator ready to hatch both my palm turkey eggs, and my guinea eggs. I only have 2 females of each. The turkey eggs aren't much bigger than...

I found a guinea egg with my guinea's. Its Feb. as you all know.. but cold and snowy. I have 2 hens and 3 males. They were hatched out July 1st 2011. (they started laying last November, but quit when it got colder). I opened the egg, and saw NO little dot, or the white squiggly thing that...
