Anyone hatching around July 7th and 12th?

I am trying to hatch guinea eggs for the first time - due on 7/10. This is only my second time hatching (I tried unsuccessfully to hatch shipped goose eggs last month; none were good).

Tomorrow is day 25, so I will turn for the last time, then crank up the humidity! It's running 45-50% now, and temps have been fairly steady. I candled tonight, and definite movement in four of the five eggs. I am not too sure about the fifth egg, but am leaving it in just in case.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

I just finished candling for the last time and weeded out a couple with blood rings. Then, I locked the incubator down - three days to go. I put a piece of masking tape on each side of the bator to remind myself not to open it for any reason. I have water in all the spaces but I am still having a hard time getting the humidity up to 70%. I filled a spray bottle with warm water and spray now and then through the vent hole. It's slowly rising.
 
I'm getting nervous. I have mine on lockdown too but I haven't seen any movement. When I candled last I know they were all still a live and filled with baby chick. My humidity is about at 63% does it need to go higher? I thought that was high enough.
 
Well the marans eggs are on the hatching floor but like all marans eggs they're very mysterious as to whether anyone is home...

They're due the 8/9th if they follow the trend. Go you brown suckers go...
 
I candled my 15 eggs last night and took 2 out and another 1 is questionable. Some of them look like they aren't going to wait until the 10th to hatch they are so full. I go on lock down after my 3rd turn today...
