Fertile eggs?

[McFunnyFarm]

I have had the worst luck trying to hatch my guinea eggs. None seem to want to try and develop at all. They are all put in incubator within a few days from gathering. I have given some to several people and they all say the same thing. Do these even look fertile to any of you? I honestly can't tell for sure.

No, I do not see the bull's eye.

Me neither I'm not sure why they aren't doing anything. Any ideas? I have chickens, turkeys, ducks all fertile and hatching, guineas are giving me a hard time!

Are you sure that you have male guineas too? The guineas like to pair up, one male to one hen in most cases.

No I don't think they are fertile

Yes, we have 5 females and 3 males in a coop with run

Hello!

How old are your birds? What are they eating? Diet and age are two of the biggest factors in breeding and fertility, as well as proper living conditions and male to female ratio, but it seems like you’ve got the right amount for those things…

They are just over a year old. They get a 16% game bird layer crumble, veggie scraps, hen scratch periodically and every so often they will get some black fly larvae treats.

How big is the area you are keeping them in? Guineas need a lot more space than chickens. They need lots of room for their races and chases during breeding season.

Honestly, I will have to go measure. How much room do they need? Maybe I need to add on!
