Help! I am having a hatch of beltsvilles right at the moment.... or an "unhatch" if you will. 6 of my 32 eggs hatched starting saturday and finishing yesterday. The 7th egg that grew is peeping and has been for the past ~24 hours. How long can it peep before it dies? Or hatches? Or should I help him? humidity is at 65%. What do I do!??!

Well I know you aren't supposed to, but I can't watch and let them die. If it's been 24 hours, I would help him out. I didn't do that with the last guinea I had last week and it didn't make it out at all.

I only hatched turkey eggs once, but I found they weren't all that robust.

I should mention - it hasn't pipped the shell yet. Still help? The egg shells are very hard!
