We need more information. What was your humidity from day zero through day 24? What day are you on now? What is your humidity now?

I incubate guinea eggs at 30% to 35% humidity for days zero through 24. I lockdown on day 25 and raise the humidity to 65% to 70%.

If you have been running at a high humidity from the beginning, your eggs are not likely to hatch due to failure of the air cell to increase in size.

The humidity in the beginning is 50 to 55%

You might be okay. Guinea eggs can tolerate that humidity better than some other eggs. For lockdown, I would raise the humidity to 70%.

Thanks for your respond

The eggs can not hatch if the humidity is higher and the air space is small is that true

If the air space is too small, the keets will not have any air to breathe when they internally pip and will not hatch. Dropping the humidity during lockdown can be harmful to their hatching success. If the air cell did not develop properly during the incubation phase, it is too late to try to fix it at lockdown.
