How long is a peafowl egg fertile?

I have some fertile peafowl eggs sitting on my counter. I sold them on Ebay and before we ship them I wanted to make sure they would still have a chance at hatching. How long can they sit before they’re too old to hatch?
 
In chicken eggs, 10 days is usually the longest they can sit and still have fairly good hatch rates. It is probably the same with Peafowl.
 
they can still hatch over 10 days but they must be kept cool before trying to hatch them, like around 50-55 degrees. ( I've hatched 14-16 day old eggs when stored at those temps . just fine )
However, If those eggs got over 70 degrees out on that counter and sat for more than a few days, prob. not good.
Just fyi, they will always be " fertile" if the were fertile to start off with.
