Egg questions

[Lady EE]

Hi


I have a few questions: Can you incubate eggs that have been stored in the refrigerator? All mine have been stored for less than a week, but with their pointy end up. I've read you can't use them if you store them that way. We killed our roos a week ago, will our hens still be fertile? I'm sorry I asked so many questions. I'm kind of in a
hurry.

Thanks

I wouldn't' if you stored with pointy end up.it should be down. but its be done you just let them sit at room temp before you put in. Pointy end down

I have not tried it, but I read a post about storing eggs pointy end up for up to 10 days, setting them out of the fridge and turning them pointy end down and let set for 3 days, then incubate.
Your hens should be fertile for about 10 days from the last mating
