I need some advice from anyone using the dry hatch method for guinea fowl.
The eggs go into lockdown tomorrow, and I am confused as to how to go about that.
I've heard two different methods of dry hatching, each with their risks.
1- Add water at the very end to help with hatching.
2- Don't add water, even at lockdown, because is can shock the egg, by going from 30% to 65-70% so quickly, and cause drowning in the egg.
Since guinea egg shells are thicker, should I add water at the end or not?
I really want this to be a good hatch. For the whole duration of incubation, the humidity has been at 20-30%.
