Fertile eggs, but no incubator for a day or so...

[Sorrell12]

What is the best way to keep the eggs untill I get an incubator? Thank you for your help!

put them in a cool moist place and have the small side of the egg facing down. good luck

put them in an egg carton with the big ends up. store them at room temp. and they will be good for a week

Store them in a cool place, in an egg carton. Then turn them at least once a day (just tilt the carton from one side to the other). That's about it.

Just be sure to let your bator run for at least a day before adding the eggs, to make sure the temp is stable.

to BYC, and I always tilt mine a few times a day while they are setting.

Oops someone beat me to it

My goodness- you all are fast! Alrighty they are in an egg carton! There was one that I coudn't be 100% which side was the smaller one, so I just made my best guess.

candle it... air cell on top.

I usually set mine in an egg carton on a board that is tilted and I just switch end with the carton several times a day when I walk by...

what I did with mine was put them in an egg carton and got a small cooler and stuck them in there with an ice pack...kept it moist enough and cool enough. Should be about 50 - 60 degrees stored. Basement would work good if it's cooler down there. I would then send these eggs out through mail and had a pretty darn good hatch rate too
