Hi Everyone. I am pretty new to chickens and am wanting to collect some of my fertile eggs to take to a person who hatches eggs professionally. I understand that I can collect for 7 days, right? Where do I keep them? My house ranges from 60-66 degrees. Outside is about 30-60 degrees. I also understand I need to tilt them several times a day. Anything else?

Thank you so much!

I keep mine in an egg carton in a room that stays about 50 in my house! You can collect for 7 - 10 day but I always try to stick with 7 because there is a better chance of viability that goes down some each day after 7. Turning is a good idea too! Just tilt to one side of the carton a couple times a day!
