I have a situation where I need about 10-14 eggs for the beginning of March. I have 8 hens, but I only want eggs from 2-4 specific hens (I can tell their eggs apart). There is one however that I want the majority of eggs from. Problem is she has only layed 3 eggs so far. One on the 14th, one on the 17th and one on the 20th. She hasn't layed in 6 days.
The reason I'm waiting on incubating them is cause I'm waiting for a shipment of 10 eggs that should get shipped out in the next 2 days and should arrive 1-2 days after shipping. Will the eggs layed on the 14th-26th still be good by the 1st-2nd March? Is there any chance they'll still hatch? Do I need to turn them every couple hours until the day I set them?
