So I have some extremely tame guinea hens. The most tame of them being my girl Echo. She's extremely comfortable with me and does not mind me near her while she is on her nest. So monitoring has been easy.
Echo has currently been on her eggs for 29 days if not 30 days.
I've never let any of my birds hatch their own eggs I've always done it in an incubator.
My hatches have always been anywhere from 23 to 26 days so I'm not sure what to do here. Not sure whether to intervene or if I just should allow her to do things on her own.
Outside temp has consistently been quite humid and around 85 to 95 degrees if that factors in at all.
I'm also worried about eggs going rotten and having to deal with that mess...
Any input or advice would be very well appreciated! <3
 
If you are absolutely positive when brooding started it doesn't look good that the eggs will hatch. I'd suggest candling but I know guinea eggs can be difficult to impossible to candle. If you're not absolutely positive when brooding began just try to be patient and wait. Good luck.
