Lockdown Question???

[caral07]

It is finally time for lockdown on my fifteen guinea eggs!

So I was wondering what the humidity and tempeture should be? Plus I have some eggs in there also that I put in there a day later. Is it safe to go ahead and put them on lockdown a day early?

P.S I think my guinea eggs are going to hatch early because the eggs are completly black besides the air pockets.

Lockdown a day early won't hurt the newer eggs, go for it. Try to maintain 65-75% humidity, you may need to add wet sponges to get it that high. The temp should be dropped a degree... 98.5.

My hatches are always early. I lockdown on day 23/24. Today is day 26 and 15 keets out of 30 eggs have hatched already, the rest are pipped

Good luck with your hatch!
