Question on storing eggs.

[peakpoultry]

Hi there! I have heard many different ideas on storing eggs before they go into the incubator. Is it true that you should put them in the refrigerator? I would think they would get to cold.

Above 40 degrees an below 80 degrees turned at least 3 times a day.

You don't want to put them in the fridge, although people that have done that by mistake have been able to hatch their eggs but with lower hatching percentages.

I just had a hatch I put in the fridge for 4 days before incubation just kinda for an experiment I suppose. I hatched 62 out of 77 eggs. So I suppose that was not to bad.

Mine are stored in my closet. It's been 4 days since storage. I have not turned them and the temp is between 71-75 fluctuating. Is that fine?
