I can't wait to have more noisy little guineas! 
Fantastic news! I’m so glad you gave them a shot. You’ll have to update with your hatch rate and what technique you used for cleaning the eggs.UPDATE: day 8 and I candled the eggs.
12 out of 14 have significant growth.
2 are clear.
And I definitely saw 5 or 6 embryos moving.
So egg-citing!
Buckwheat! Buckwheat!
Rereading my post. Obviously I meant nothing to lose not loose. That’s why I should not do data entry on my phone.I wouldn’t call this advice. Just a anecdote.
A few years ago I purchased an adult Ameraucana hen. When I picked her up it had rained all morning. The seller offered me, for free, the eggs that were laid that day to try hatching. I got about 15+ eggs. They were completely covered in poop and mud. They were so gross I wouldn’t even put them in my truck. They rode home in the bed of the truck in a rusty #10 can.
There was no way I was incubating them as is. Since I didn’t have anything to loose I washed them directly under the faucet in warm water. Then sprayed them down with chlorhexidine disinfectant. After drying they went in the incubator.
It turned out to be a pretty good hatch! Two of my favorite hens came from it.
I don’t think you have much to loose cleaning those eggs. Or clean half and use rest others as a control group. There is a lot to be learned from trying out different techniques.
I'm looking forward to seeing your new babies!UPDATE: 7 days left and ALL 12 keets are still moving in their shells! Now it's time to reread the how-to articles and get ready for hatching. So exciting!
Side note: Apparently, my guinea hen is sitting on another nest, but we haven't found it yet. She hid it really well this time and we haven't been able to follow them back to it. I see her a couple of times a day and then she's gone. Her no-good baby-daddy goes in the coop without her every night.
I was going to use 50/50 peroxide, but realized I had only a few drops left.
So I used a cotton ball, mostly plain water, and rinsed them under a tiny stream of water.
If you put it in the brooder alone give it a little mirror so it doesn't feel alone.
