Guinea Fowl Egg Incubating
Over a period of 7 days, we gathered eggs fom the nests of our guinea fowl hens. They were stored in paper egg cartons at about 58° F with the little end of the egg pointed down. Humidty in the room was monitored to make sure it didn't become to dry. The egg cartons were on a board that could be raised on one end, tilting the eggs in two diffeent angles, twice a day.
Before loading the pre-heated incubator, the guinea fowl eggs must be brought up to room temperature.
Guinea Fowl Eggs being brought up to room temperature before being placed into the incubator. Hot air rises, so put them in an elevated position in your house such as the top of the refrigerator or on a tall cabinet.
Here is the Genesis Hova-Bator model #1588 with circulated air and automatic egg turner.
Adding a little bit of food coloring dye to the warm water will help you see the water level in the bottom of the incubator water trough much easier. Use food coloring dye only.
