Newbie to Hatching- How to store eggs?

[Sally Sunshine]

You are getting pretty good information. I’ll offer this site. It has good information on storing eggs and good information about incubation in general. I find it a good refresher.

One thing I think it is important to realize. These are guidelines, not absolute laws of nature. If you follow all these guidelines perfectly you are still not guaranteed perfect success. If you violate a few you are not guaranteed absolute total failure. The guidelines are intended to improve your odds of success. Just follow them as closely as you reasonable can.

An example. They give a temperature range to store eggs. This is the perfect range but many of us don’t have anywhere in that range to store them and we still normally do pretty well as long as we don’t go to extremes. Just do the best you reasonably can and you will probably do OK.

Ridgerunner, FYI I had to delete that link as it doesnt work anylonger : ( I tried a search and couldnt find it... if you do can you pm to me? Thanks!

Looks like they have improved and updated their site. These universities do this to me all the time. Try this.

I have a question. I stored eggs in my house not thinking about temps and it runs 65-70 degrees in my house. I turned them and they are less than 7 days collected. I just put them in the incubator this morning. Should they be ok?

Im just curious how that hatched turned out? I didnt think it would be a good one but you never know. Im new at the hatching thing as well.
