Have stored eggs at room temperature (65-70) before i incubate... did I mess up badly?

[justakid96]

So I want to try to hatch my own eggs. I have been reading and missed this piece of crucial information
The eggs range from being 1 to 6 days old

how badly will this mess up my attempts to hatch? thanks in advance,
and yes I do have a rooster

well either way I will try this out. Thanks, guess its hard to say

It should have no negative impact whatsoever. If they were/are viable they should develop and hatch. Think of how long it takes a hen to build a clutch and the temperature changes they experience yet result in high percentage hatch rates.

Yeah im excited to try this out, first timer here. Sucks one of our hen died recently now have 4 hen one rooster

Also curious when it comes to candling after 7-10 days... for the ones that werent fertile are those eggs basically rotten and not good to eat anymore?

The egg shortage is real . Will be trying to hatch 14 eggs
