HELP!! Did my Guinea Hatch Early or Was I Told Wrong?

[bigspringshatchery]

I had two the hatched this morning and its the 26th day. I just put them on lockdown last night. I know i seen two charts on the internet that said 26-28 days but i seen more than that that said 28, so how do i really know how long. bc last night 4 out of the 6 was already cracking thru. will they be ok? these are i first guinea that ive hatched myself. i know the temp was right it was 99.1

I've read on the guinea thread that a lot of people will do lockdown on day 23 because they have a lot of guineas hatch on day 24 or day 25. So, I think you're right on track.

So even tho I jus put them on lockdown last night. They will be ok

Yep.

My experience is 25 to 27 days and seldom do I have any hatch after that. I oftne find one to hatch earlier than 24 and I find it when I go to put them in lock down. They will should be fime. I may get a splay leg from time to time but a band aid will fix that. Good luck!

I just hatched some under two (chicken) hens, and it took 26 days. (I saw the same chart 26-28 days).

i usually set 100's at a time and put mine in the hatcher on day 24, sometimes i have a few pips when i do.

I sell them for 2.00 each on weekends only and they must buy at least 10 that way i can move them fast and not have to deal with selling all threw the week.

I do the same with my chicks but i sell them for .75 cents each and some people buy 100's at a time, they are usually gone the first day.

That's wonderful that you do so well.

Your doggie is so pretty in that pic.
