I have heard that guineas don't hatch/brood their eggs. But I have also heard from some people and websites that they do hatch their eggs. I am very confused. Will I need an incubator or not? I need to know.

incubating question; I know guinea eggs take 28 days, but what day do you put them into lockdown and raise the humidity? I have some in the bator, day 14 coming up, and wondered what day to lock down? This is my first time trying to hatch guineas
No different than any other eggs. The recommended length of storage time is 7 to 10 days. The longer you store them the lower hatch rate you can expect.How soon after the eggs are laid do you need to set them? I have about 48 in the pen, laid probably over the last week.

I normally stored mine for 14 days but have successfully hatched eggs as old as 21 days. How you store them can also affect how well they will hatch.
