You can leave that first one in for another day or so.they live off the yolk sack..that is why you ship meets very young. His peeping will encourage the others..he is just on the early side.

Thankyou for that information i will leave it in the incubator it is dragging its shell round by a thin cord do you think i t ok i put these in the incubator as the hens would not sit then three days later i was short three hens went looking and found them sitting on nest so i hope by end of week i got some more guineas

If one hatched and others peeping..they should be ok. Watch humidity and temp.
