Well, I put 12 guinea eggs in my incubator yesterday (4/16/11) at 10:00pm i know that they hatch in 28 days but what day and time will i stop turning them and what day will the hatch?

I'm pretty sure you should stop turning and "lock down" on day 25. I'm not sure what the exact humidity should be for guinea but you'll need to increase humidity during lockdown and don't open the incubator until the hatch is complete as this can compromise the eggs yet to hatch.

Good luck. I'm in a similar boat having set turkey eggs (also take 28 days) on Friday - also my first time hatching this species! I'll hold your hand if you hold mine?
