I put two guinea eggs, fertility unknown, under a bantam hen who wanted to set on eggs. 28 days would've been next Tuesday but one hatched on Friday (so 4 days early?). How long do I let the hen set on the as-yet-unhatched egg before removing it?
Thanks!
 
Can you candle the remaining egg? If the sibling egg has hatched and this one hasn’t, then it probably isn’t viable. But it’s not a yes it’s definitely not viable. If you do candle, can you show pictures? Good Luck!
 
Thanks for the input.
Mama abandoned the egg to follow the keet, so I opened the egg. It wasn't a fertile egg, so no loss there.
