New to hatching guineas
Thank you so much. I was hoping someone could tell me exactly how many days before the guinea eggs should go in on. :)- AParmer

New to hatching guineas
I'm going to try my hand at hatching guineas. I've attempted to help my mother and she got 6 live out of about two dozen but only two made it. So I'm going to try to incubate a half batch of guineas and a half of Marans. Do what do I need to know about hatching two kinds of eggs. I know the...- AParmer

September Hatch-A-Long!
Oh dear I need some quick help. I put my hatch on lockdown about an hour ago. I just went to check and make sure the humidity was where it needed to be and had an egg explode! It's a mysterious white one that showed up amongst my flock of brown layers. I've not been able to see into it since day...- AParmer

Oh seeing all these pretty babies and such great veining in the first batch of my own flocks eggs has got me on pins and needles. We're expecting hatch on Sept. 15 in my ReptiPro 6000.- AParmer

Thank you much. They were being very cooperative this morning when I took them. They're interested in everything! I love this stage, you know, the one before they all start to run from you.- AParmer

Great looking babies! I love hatching with you all! My August hatch is finished. Out of 6 locked down, we have five beautiful babies. The other one was alive and well at lockdown but just didn't make it out. Poor guy. But I'm still so pleased with the turn out. Here's pics of my babies. I look...- AParmer

I set mine on July 31. Out of 6 locked down, four are here. One is pipped and chirping up a storm. And one isn't doing a thing.- AParmer

One of the two that I pipped for last night is out, about 20 minutes ago! It has curled toes and I will have to put a boot on it when it fluffs up. And another one, not the second assisted pip, was out when I got up this morning.- AParmer

Thank you very much! The inner membrane looks good too. No sign of drying out or anything.- AParmer

I made a small hole in each of them. They had both made it through the air cell as thought. One is chirping up a storm. The other I can see moving it's beak, but the hole isn't close enough for me to tell if the inner membrane is still on it's nostrils or not. I don't want to make the holes too...- AParmer

Should I make it close to where I see they have broken through the air cell? Because one of them is on the higher side of it and not the lowest dip.- AParmer

The roller and one other appear to have gotten through to the air cell, I'm wondering if they just can't get to the shell. The air cells are pretty big too!- AParmer

I have a question about my roller. He's been rolling around for over 24 hours now. It's only day 20. This is still normal for no pip?- AParmer
