You know, it`s a wonder guinea hens have hardly any keets. My first guineas, I chicken hatched, so I really didn`t pay attention to how many days it took. I`ve read all kinds of posts about keets hatching from day 25 to day 28 and now you have one at day 24. I can`t imagine a guinea hen staying on the nest for 4 days just to be sure they all hatch. Maybe under a hen they all hatch within a couple days, like chicken eggs. A chicken would leave the nest with however many chicks had hatched after 3 days for sure, and most after 2 days. It`s a mystery.
Were those Cornish eggs shipped? I have always had poor hatches from shipped eggs. No more for me, if I can help it.....P
