eggs are HATCHING!!!!!!!!!

[Pastel the Rooster]

do you have any tips on hatching guineas?

Candle them every few days. ( you will see the baby embryos doing backflips!) If there is a possible dead one, candle it and one other almost every day( a good egg and the bad egg) Say, one stops moving, you grab a good egg, wait a few days and candle every few days, if the development is not very close to the good egg, wait maybe if your not sure, then toss it. SORRY IF THAT DID NOT MAKE ANY SENSE!!! You will probably need to help them hatch ( THE EGGS ARE HARD!!!) Just take some tweezers ( only if they have a piping hole) and GENTLY peel back some eggshell and membrane. Good luck on your future hatch!

Do not open the incubator during lockdown. I made the mistake and now one of the membrane is trying to shrink rap one of the keets

Oh, no!!!!

My second born Guinea keet still had its yolks sack on it, it passed sometime today. I have another that hatched this morning. Its neck is curled up to its body and all it is doing is laying on its side, spinning in circles. Today we had two healthy ones hatch, so now we have three. Just waiting for the bent neck keet to pass. Right now I have four, but it wont be long till the bent neck one to pass. I do not have the guts to end it myself ( too sad and gross for me) I want to take it to the vet to have it be put down, but its too expensive and I do not have enough time.
