Are these fertile?

Try candling them. You shpuld definitely be able to see something by now. Post some pics of the eggs and I'll let you know how they look. Hoping you see some little keets in there!

Ok, I’ll give it a go tonight and post some pictures!

Sounds good! I have some duck eggs on day 7 today, so we're in the same boat! Lol

Here are some of them.
this egg has cracks in the shell. Kinda thinking of cracking it open since it looks like it isn’t any good...thoughts?

This one looks different then the rest (to me anyway)

Then there is this nearly white egg. I feel like maybe I see very slight veins?

The rest all look the same to me

The first one looks like a dud. Crack it and let me know if there's any veins or anything inside. This second one might be fertile. Leave it in, put some mark on it, a star or something. Leave this third one in too, just in case. I don't know about the rest. I feel like you should be seeing something by now, but I know guineas lay tough eggs.

I took the opportunity to number all the eggs before candling. I’ll leave them all in and try again on day 14. Hopefully it’s just too early with how thick the shells are to really see much. Egg 7 was the only one I *think* looks hopeful.

I was guessing it was infertile. Sorry. I have hope for some of the other ones!

@My2butterflies — how far along are your eggs? I’ve never incubated guineafowl eggs.

@My2butterflies — how far along are your eggs? I’ve never incubated guineafowl eggs.

They are 10 days along right now. I’ll be candling again on Thursday or I might even wait for the weekend again.
