Guinea fowl hatch date?!

[libarena]

@Texas Kiki probably can help you better with the stage the eggs are at as long as she remembers that these are 28 day eggs instead of the 16 day and 21 day eggs she works with. I only candle at lockdown so am not that familiar with what the eggs should look like before then.

Once you decide to go to lockdown you can raise the humidity. Guinea eggs have very tough membranes and can use a higher humidity during lockdown.

@Texas Kiki I just went to candle two of the eggs.

Here are two eggs from last night. Any help knowing when to go on lock down is appreciated!

My guess is that they are at least a couple of weeks away. When they start getting close, most of the egg will be dark.

Okay! Thank you. That helps a ton!

One of the babies internally piped tonight and eggs are shaking! I haven’t checked them since Thursday and I’m glad I did tonight! I’m upping humidity and have turned off the turner but otherwise I have no idea what to do!

Just wait for them to hatch. Hatching can occur as soon as 24 hours after the internal pip.

One has hatched! I realised that I didn’t properly prep the floor and I’m now worried about that haha. When should I take him out??
