Incubating Guinea eggs

[plschick1210]

This is my first nearly successful batch of guinea eggs. They have internally pipped but not externally. I am curious if there is an average time frame of when I can expect an external pip? Does this process take longer for a guinea than it does a chicken? I don't have an accurate date on how long the eggs have been incubating. I tried to allow my guinea to hatch them and she was scared off of her nest by a dog. They have been in my incubator 23 days I am not sure how long they were under her.

Generally you'll see external pip within 24 hours of internal pip

Several of them have externally pipped today.
