Guinea hatching

[Chickenlife20]

I am wondering How much longer past the 28th day for a guinea egg do you wait and see if any others will hatch?

Have you candled the eggs? Any signs of development? Internal pip?

I have had 2 Guineas hatch already. I candled them before I put them on lock down.

I clean out the hatcher on day 29. I rarely have keets hatching on day 28 and none by day 29.

Mine hatch pretty early, like day 24-26. If it’s been 24 hr after the rest and I don’t see an external pip, then I candle and look for evidence of life. If I don’t see movement, I open from the aircell, in case they are alive, and look at positioning and try to figure out what went wrong. Most of mine that make it this far but don’t hatch are malpositioned. You can use that information to adjust your temperature and humidity for the next hatch.
