I collect eggs for a week then put them in the bator. I keep them in egg cartons in a cooler room. One we don't heat. But not cold like the fridge. I also lean the carton one way, then when I turn the eggs in the bator I go in the room and lean the carton the other direction. I do this every time. I write the date on the top with a pencil and who it came from. I have a coding system you might say.
Then when they are put in the bator on day 7 sometimes day 8 I record the date and which eggs went in by the date and code on the egg. I record the time I turn them and the temp and wet bulb in the morning, I also make notes like temp drop due to weather change. I also keep track of when I add water and when I add more to bring up humidity for a hatch. You can find the documents in "Incubating and Hatching Eggs", and you can find that here at BYC. I would start with the home page. I do a chart for every hatch. If I didn't I couldn't keep up with which hatch when.
Oh, store the eggs big side up. That's where the air cell is. Keep it top side. If you can't tell use a strong flash light in a pitch black room. Shine it through the egg. The end that looks hollow is the air cell.
Good luck
