[myrtlegrl]

I usualy have a setter by now, so I am getting antsy- I have never incubatet before & am sure I can get some good advice here! how do i store the eggs untill I incubate? Any tips will be welcome, Thanks!

I have only just finished my first incubation but here is what was recommended to me. Store the eggs pointy side down in a carton preferably at room temp. Turn them twice a day. I just set one end on some books and then switched it end to end each time. Everyone has varying opinions on how long they can be stored but I think fertility rates drop after about 7-10 days. I hope that helps and someone else will be along I'm sure to add more.
