Setting eggs

[Alwayswantchics]

How long can I hold onto eggs before I set them? What is considered to old to set?

I suggest you read this. It has some pretty good information about how to store eggs for incubating.

There is no one correct answer to your question. The conditions you store them in has a lot to do with how long you can store them. Don't get totally bent out of shape if you can't meet all the suggestion in that Texas A&M article. Just do the best you can. But the closer you come to meeting the requirements, the longer you can store them and have good hatches.
