Hatching guinea fowl eggs

[CDennis]

My guinea's lay eggs that I am convinced you could play softball with, those shells are so thick! Not that my guineas are laying right now but I was thinking in spring about hatching out some of their eggs, because of the shells are they more difficult?

Guinea eggs I found to be easier for some reason. I had a better hatch rate with my guinea eggs than my chicken eggs.

Same temperature and humidity, so it's pretty much the same as chicken eggs.

Good to know, now if only I can convince them to lay their eggs in a box and not in the corn field!

same as chicks, just takes 28 days instead of 21 leave them cooped up until after 3 pm when mine are laying they lay between 11 and 2 like clock work
