Eggs can wait x days before incubating?

[Buck Creek Chickens]

up to 10 days, but that does count on what temp they where stored at, 70* 5 days, 60* 6-7 days, 50* 7-8 days, 40* 9-10 days, below 40 I've gone 15 days had a great hatch, just don't freeze them

ok, got the right wires, new problem, I need a charger at 12V DC. ughhh, all I have are ones for less! what

12 V DC fan does not need 12 Vs DC to run. Lower voltage will run it but slower an higher voltage will run it but faster. The DC part is a must but anywhere from 6 to 18 V will probably work.

fan says-
DC12V


the charger says-
AC 120V
DC 4.5V


The fan starts and spins for about 1 second then stops, 3 seconds later it works for a second, repeats that indefinitely .
So it doesn't work and I don't have any chargers that are 12v dc.

You can pick up converters pretty cheap at radio shack...etc. I'll bet if you look around you probably have one laying around the house. Anything from 9-12v will work...

 

[secuono]

Don't have any.
darnit, this sucks...

Well, ordered 3 IPhone chargers, only ones with the right volts...ugh.
$17 down the drain again. Hopefully they all get here soon.
I was hoping I could use those other 4 eggs and all, but at this rate it won't happen.

I guess I never even thought that I could use the eggs I have in the fridge...figured the cold would mess them up. Good to know!

Thats actually not true. There are higher losses the first day or two but then it levels off. You don't want to put eggs in the fridge that you are only keeping for 7 days but if you need to keep them for over 14 days then its better to have them in the fridge from the get go. Pre storage incubation of about 6 hours has been know to help them last longer at all temps too.
