Incubating guinea eggs.Sigh.

I am borrowing a still air incubator from a friend to hatch some guinea eggs. It is a little giant incubator and it is my first time to hatch guineas. We have a nest outside that has no less than 15 eggs in it and it is probably around 1 to 2 weeks old. new eggs appear everyday. The incubator doesn't have a fan or temp/humid gage but it does have an auto turn. I need all the advise you can give.
Thanks!!!

Hey guys, I have a bit of a predicament. I have borrowed an incubator to incubate 23 guinea eggs and so far I have failed. It is a still air 9300 and I have no hygrometer. I filled all the water channels because I watched a video and the lady did that. Then after I came home from school the temp had dropped from a perfect 101.5 to 98.4. I have no idea how long it had stayed like that and then I adjusted it a little to far and at this very moment I am in the process of perfecting the temp. I need your wisdom and experience tips. The eggs have been in there for a whole day now. Will they survive? what should I do? please help!!!!!!!
 
We're hatching our first guinea eggs, set 24 yesterday plan to wait till Sunday and add our chicken eggs. So all hatch about the same time

How soon could you tell the eggs were developing? I set my first ever eggs recently. Yesterday was day 7 so I candled at 37 eggs and they all look like nothing is happening. :(
Some of the eggs were old so I don't expect to have a high hatch rate but some were freshly laid. I will look again at day 14.
 
We could see veins well defined by day 7.
