Time line for eggs need to be in an incubator

[turkeyman188]

Hi,
My royal palm turkey hen layed an egg yesterday. What is the time line I have to get the egg in an incubator before the egg dies?

It won't "die" it'll just have a lower chance of developing/hatching once it begins incubation. I think the rule is about a week before the fertility in eggs starts going down, I assume you have a tom to fertilize the eggs right?

Thanks for replying. Yes, I have a Narragansett gobbler. A friend of mine is allowing me to barrow his incubator this eveining.

I collect my chicken eggs for 10 to 12 days.
