Thank you for sharing . I raised room temp to 72 to stabilize the 'bator . In your experience , is that too warm for the last three days of egg storage ?

I wouldn't think it would be an issue. I wouldn't store them right by my woodstove, but I've stored eggs on my counter in the summer (when it was hotter in the house) and it didn't affect them hatching.

I store mine in an egg carton wide end up and prop the end up on a tuperware container (tuperware comes in handy for LOTS of stuff). Then I periodically shift it so the other side is propped up.

Thank you , its only my second hatch so very inexperienced . Last time I had low fertility , but hatched 3 of 5 of the fertile . The two that did not hatch had been rolled to a corner by the new chicks , and one of them was added 12 hrs later than the others , but I'm hatching in egg cartons this time . Last time I stored in plastic egg racks and hand tilted for four days as you did . This time I just put them in the auto turner and stored at 60/62 degees untill I raised that room's temp yesterday .

I can send mutts with a Silver & Blue EE over assorted layers (Buckeye, BR, banty Cochin, JG, Barnevelder, BO).

Or I can send 7 or 8 EEs. I haven't much else going on, but wouldn't want someone to miss out!

I wish I could help ; the only viable eggs I might have couldn't possibly go out untill tomorrow and I doubt that would help .

My shipped eggs arrived today!
50 of them are resting comfortably - waiting to go to the spa & get nice and toasty, and rolled daily!

Silkies.
Hoping for a decent hatch.

DH said good thing they are shipped......he does not have a clue what I would do if all 50 hatched!

I know what I would do.......kick him out and let the chickens live here!

He can live in the coop!

ETA: that 50 does not count the 22 silkies & 3 silver sebrights already in the incubator to hatch after Christmas
