Incubation Temperatures

I thought this was interesting. Since the weather has been sooooo warm, and some of us want to start some chicks:

Fertilized eggs should be refrigerated promptly, especially in warmer weather as a fertilized egg will begin embryological development above 80 degrees Fahrenheit according to the University of Illinois.

Now, I don't know that I would refrigerate them, but definitely put them in a cooler enviroment.

I didn't have any cool place to store my Japanese quail eggs I was collecting to incubate and they did start to hatch early at 16 days (they should take 18 days).
