16 eggs, 3 species, 1 homemade incubator: Will it be done?

Notice:
There will not be a live candling tonight or tomorrow night. I have decided that it is better to let these eggs settle for a few days before I do anything more with them.

I have not yet decided if I will continue daily candlings after that point or only candle at milestone days.

I think that’s a wise decision:thumbsup
Glad the cracked egg is still alive!

I have one of those, had iffy hatch results, did best with chicken eggs not quail. Make sure you create some sort of screen for the eggs to set on when you are ready to lockdown, I tried to hatch with eggs vertically in the cups and the chicks were able to move the shells around and made me worry they were going to get leg problems because they were almost falling into the water area below the cups.
Also make sure to rotate the eggs around the incubator (clockwise/counter-clockwise) as well as tilt them when turning.
 
Update:
I spoke with Egg Man today. He has offered me more Guinea and Duck hatching eggs if I want them. I will be taking more Duck eggs. Again Pekin x Ancona.
When I get home I will work to figure out the max amount that I can reasonably fit into the bator. I will probably take 2-3. These eggs will be over a week behind the other ones.

I'm creating more of a complicated staggered hatch because, well, why not? :)

I got Lavender Guineas this week. They are cute.

If egg man wouldn't mind and I knew how much shipping was I would take the giuny (sorry can't spell) chicks
If that's something you're interested in I can do that for you directly. He is literally giving away the eggs because he has about 30 and doesn't want any more guineas. :)
