Well, I talked to the breeder I got my eggs from just to let them know about my terrible hatch. I totally think PO screwed me up... out of 41, 22 made it to lock down and 7 hatch?! The rest were fully formed and dead in egg. Only 1 pipped internally.. most all had not absorbed the yolk sac. I'm thinking loose air cells that caused them to die when I moved from upright in turner to on their side. This is the only thing I could figure. Maybe this time I will hatch in cartons

I hatched in cartons this time and I had a better hatch rate from my 1st one......The 2 I did lay on the side cause I didn't have enough room in the carton did not hatch.....Thought that was interesting....

My 2 guinea eggs go into lockdown today...wahoo.....Will be happy if I get 1 to hatch, LOL
