First Time Setting Guinea Eggs.....

The shells are extra thick, so it's usually easiest at the 10 day mark for those that don't have a whole lot of experience at candling, and usually veins are clearly visible by then. Some candle at day 7 with good success. The key is a super dark room and a super bright flashlight or candler.

That's great news. You still may get more that hatch, so don't give up on them yet.

I've got 29 eggs due to hatch next weekend, but one impatient keet that piped today. Not sure exactly why one would pip that much earlier than the others, but going to let it be and see what happens. I just might end up with one keet a little older than the others.
