How long can you store quail eggs before incubating?

Hi!
I am new here and new to raising quail. I have only two actively laying females so I get two eggs/day. I am pretty sure they are fertile because there is a whole lotta humping going on in the cage. Questions: How many days can I let the eggs sit at room temp before I put them in the incubator?
TIA!

The best way to store them is in a cool room around 60 degrees. The eggs should be turned at least twice a day. I don't know about quail but less than 10 days is best for chickens and 2 weeks for guineas.
