Can eggs be when you place in bator and still get a good turn out?
You're right that normally eggs are stored small end down. But as I said, if storage is going to be long term, they should be small end up. During incubation small end is down but in extended storage small end should be up.Yep, 7-10 days is best, any longer than that and hatchability goes down. I personally like to go with no more than 7 days if at all possible.
Also, eggs should always be stored small end down, which is what I think ChickenCanoe meant to say? The air cell end (fat end) should always be up.
