Well, I thought my hatching was over for a few weeks, I have a duck egg due August 1 and have had Guinea eggs in the bator that were due on what I though was the same day. Well.....guess who was WRONG! Apparently momma guinea had set on the eggs for a while before she decided she had enough and left them. I thought they were just on day one because they were cool when I found them. I thought I would pop them in the bator and see what happened anyways. Well....we come home from town and my husband comes running out of the house hollering "You have a guinea hatching!" I was like there is no way. Sure enough, I come in the house and into the small bathroom (aka:incubator room) and look in and there was the cutest little thing stuck in the egg! it had somehow got turned wrong in the process of pipping and couldn't move!! It already had the top off the egg, it just couldn't fit through the hole it had made, so I pulled off a little of the shell and out it popped! It is in the bator now. I will post pics soon as it is the first Guinea I have ever hatched!!!! It is so cute but freaked out when I had to put the shelf paper in because it was trying to get under the wire in the bottom of the Hovabator. So Sweet!!!
