Hello all. I have read to store turkey eggs at 55 to 65 degrees before incubation. I keep them on my back porch and it dipped down to 38 the last 2 nights they were setting. Will they be ok to incubate or should I wait to collect more? This will be my first turkey hatch. Thanks for any input. I know that I have had chicken eggs shipped when it was this cold and they hatched fine, but like I said I am new to turkey hatches.

From what I have read, the eggs can get as low as 27°F and still remain viable. I wouldn't worry about 38°F.
