Candling Guinea Eggs?

[cracking up]

Can't wait to see the little buggers. What color are they going to be?

I am going to take loads of pictures, these are my first guinea eggs I'm hatching. I've gotten day olds from Ideal but as soon as they got big enough I let them out and one of my dogs killed them (that won't happen this time). They could be white, buff , pearl, slate, buff dundotte, chocolate, blue and brown!

:O Goodluck!!! Can't wait for pics! (I love seeing them move inside the egg also

)

One has pipped! Its either white or buff, I can't really tell! Soo excitedd! I will get pics in the morninggg!

I do to! I could sit all day and watch them moving in there, although that would be really bad for the baby.

I snapped a quick pic!

Any idea on the colors of my babies. I was kinda hoping they would be more colorful...but they are still adorable!
I have them in with my barred rock mixed peeps.

They're really cute. Looks like a couple of pearls and I love the little one in the back. Looks buff or something. Congratulations!

I think I figured out the colors! Correct me if I am wrong! The two dark ones with no white are Pearl Gray (both on the left), the two darks with white are Royal Purple (crossing my fingers! on the right of the Pearl Grays), the two light browns with white are Buff (right of the Royal Purples), and the one light brown with no white is a Buff Dundotte (crossing my fingers again! On the far right).

What colors do you see in these?

Also, what do you think this little light colored baby is? It's the only one this light and blueish colored.

so awesome....my hens we're sitting 3 or 4 all together...well they kept collecting eggs and the other hens kept adding until it was out of control out there...and getting smelly...I had no choice but to try and gather as many a I could without getting attacked and candle them...some were no good the ones I could tell were viable went in the incubator and I left some for the hens...they haven't hatched any but the ones I have in the bator are looking close! I'm unfamiliar with what they should look like as they progress...some have good looking air sacs but below the embryo is some open space still...how far along do they seem to be?
