How long to eggs keep before going inti the bator?

[robnms]

I'm gonna get some eggs and was wondering how long do I have before I need to put them into an incubator? I have to make a trip to get them and won't be back for a week and unfortunately I have to pick them up 1st.

7-10 days, at room temp..But I have had better hatch rates if I keep them no more than 7 days.

Thanks for the info, I should make it back in 7 days and hope they all hatch.
