I have 4 silkiehens and a silkie roo that are laying fertiziled eggs. My neighbor wants to raise a couple of silkies to add to her flock. I am willing to give her some eggs to hatch, but not sure what temperature to hold them at for a couple of days before she adds them to her incubator. I am getting 1-3 eggs per day that are likely fertile. 3 of the hens are are about 5 months old. The other is about 3 years old and a prolific egg layer (almost one per day). Any advice on pretreating hatching eggs will be appreciated.
 
I use to collect my eggs for 7 days before sending them off to the incubator
I'd collect them
put them pointy end down and then put them in mini fridge til I'm ready to put them in incubator
then I let them slowly go back to room temp then put them in the bator
