Want to learn how to keep eggs and it takes before puting in the incubator

put in an egg carton (fat end of egg up)with a thick book under one end. everyday when you add one reverse which angle is in the air. pretty simple. if it is cool where you are storing them, 14 days max but your best results are going to be 7 days in storage b4 incubating.

You can get them out after they are dry which usually takes about 5 or 6 hours. Do not open the lid of the bator if there is still any pipping. You can leave the chicks in the bator up to 24 hours if need be.
