Guinea eggs

[Fcarter]

I have found one guinea nest with some eggs. I would like to try and hatch some but how do I store/keep them till I have enough to hatch?
Thanks,
Faye

I would collect and store just as you would with chicken eggs. Please see thread below in link ~

When I am ready to put them in the incubator what do I do different than if they were chickens? I know the incubation time is different but do they also have a lock down period? I'm hoping to put them in on Tuesday so I want to be I do everything correctly .
Thanks
