So last time I had eggs, it was much, much cooler - at the highest 75. Now my hen is laying again after a month break and it's 85-95 degrees in the sun! They are in the shade though, it's much cooler.
I haven't seen my drake breeding with her since she went broody on her first clutch, will these be fertile? Should I leave them out and when there's 12 or so, incubate and test fertility? I know the fridge is too cold, for the next batch where do you guys keep your eggs? basement? an A/C'd room?

Thanks!
 
You should be able to leave them at room temperature until incubation. To test fertility, crack one open and look for the bullseye.
