Newbie here currently incubating guinea fowls am on day 12 i candled them tonight as we lost power on day 7 and noticed 2 look like they take up the hole egg other than the air cell, I'm using the dry incubation method I seen someone post on here had heaps of positives so thought why not the temp has been between 37.1-37.8 and humidity between 30-45% the other 8 take up between half and alittle over with thick veins but I can't really see in these two eggs I can just see it takes up the hole egg but the air cell does anyone no if this is normal or if they are okay ?

You may have some hot spots in your incubator causing the eggs to speed up development. Or the power outage caused the other eggs to slow down and delay development. Do you have a seperate calibated hygrometer in your incubator or are you using the built in one? If you can see some sort of veining or movement in the eggs, they are alive and well and you don't need to worry. I would just watch those two eggs for early signs of pipping.

Oh wow I didn't think that could happen so early do I put them outside the turning tray ? I'm using a janoel 12 I don't have a seperate calibated hygrometer but I have multiple humidity readers and temp readers one digital one glass the 2 dark ones are really really dark I can only see the air cell

I also use a Janoel 12 and I've found that the temp isn't always constant within the entire incubator. When I said hygrometer, I meant any separate reader aside from the one that's built in, so what you have is good. With this model, there's not a lot of room to leave some eggs in the tray and take others out. If you notice the eggs are starting to pip early, it won't hurt to put all the eggs in lockdown a few days before schedule.
