My sone is hatching his modern game bantams in and incubator this year. Last year we tried letting the hens sit but they were not very good moms most of them left the nest before the eggs hatched. So we are now incubating but how long can we store the fertile eggs before putting them in the bator. We currently have a batch of 12 in there due to hatch on 3/21 I would rather wait and have batches about this size so we don't have a bunch of chicks all at different ages. But how long is too long to wait before putting them in the incubator. He has been collecting them daily and putting them in egg cartons and tipping them everyday for some rotation large end up. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks
