I have another question.
I was finally able to find a flashlight that worked in this house. The four eggs are just about 2-21/2 weeks along near as I can tell. They were without heat of the mother for somewhere between 4-6 hours (maybe longer, but we never heard a ruckus until earlier than normal-around 4am). I got them under a light, 95 degrees, by 1130 (had to go buy one as my other would not work).
I told my hubby that I would say we have a 50-50 chance with these 4 (more with the others since I the hen had just sat). He wants to know if they will develop normally, or be deformed?
Like I said, I don't know if they are even still living in there, but I would really like to try. Our local store said they will have an incubator today-bringing two up from another store for my emergency.
Do you still think I should give it a shot? When will I know if they are ready to do the whole lock down thing, quit turning them, etc. Just guess by candling? Are there better pics out there of candled guinea hen eggs? All I can find are chicken or duck eggs.
Thanks,
