guinea hen hatch along

[african chickens]

i rarely hatch eggs but our guineas have been hatching some very interesting ones so here we go i set it up a few hours ago still waiting for it to warm up to 101

so first one of our hens consistently lays roundish egg so i am incubating 2 of those

And

next this weird carrot looking dark brown egg

next this egg is brown on one side and has a brown spot in the center of the other side

and then this normal egg i thought looked cool

I don't know anything about guinea eggs, but there sure is a lot of variety in those eggs! Will be interesting to see the hatchlings.

Typically it's not recommended to hatch eggs that are misshapen.
Good luck with your hatch

Agreed, that 3rd egg doesn't look stable.

Oh I'm not judging you- I've done lots of thing others view as ill-advised. I just have this fear of exploding eggs in the incubator contaminating the rest. I had one with an unseen crack. Eventually I caught and removed it when it started seeping. General consensus in here was this was why I ended up w/a mushy belly button epidemic.

One of the problems in hatching deformed eggs is bringing undesired genetics into the flock.
