Oldest egg question

[Jamie_Dog_Trainer]

I am wondering what is the oldest egg you have ever successfully incubated? Five days old, a week old, two weeks? Would like to hear from you all who have tried it and had some viable chickes out of the hatch with the older eggs. Thanks.

I've hatched 14 -16 days old eggs with no problems.

i got 30% hatch rate on 15day old eggs , i never even turned the eggs in storage , i get 70 % on fresh eggs but people who buy eggs from me do much better (90%)

Thank you all. I have two hens I am breeding now and wanting their chicks. Looks like only one is laying and I am getting one egg every other day and sometimes two days in a row. Gathering these eggs is super frustrating.
