    Unfertilized egg? Guinea Fowl Day 12

    I recently bought some guinea fowl eggs from a local person. It's Day 12 now, and I'm not seeing much development. I heard it takes longer, but I'm a little worried because I don't see any progress. I'm hoping someone more familiar can tell me how a Day 12 egg should look like.

    Hello, this is my first time incubating eggs. The first one hatched around 28 hours ago. It's Day 20 today, and I've been checking consistently and none of the other eggs seems to be pipping. I don't believe I heard any noises or movements from them, either. Should I be worried? I was told that...
