Britt, Guineas, plain old guineas except 3 of the females are HUGE. They were supposed to be pheasants. I had fertile eggs, then when I cracked open more, they were not fertile. Has to be the night time temps killing the embryos. I put them in the incubator in batches. I am going to check more this week because it is going to be warmer at night. I won't send eggs to anyone until I have 95% fertility consistently. If I keep them I am going to need to find an unrelated large male. Sigh... They are good watch dogs and i am getting where I appreciate it more and more. Though if someone came up and offered me 10 each, they might be on their way to a new home. I have mixed feelings.
