Should I refrigerate my eggs after they've been in the heat?

Hello! I ordered some eggs off of Ebay. They've been out in the heat for several days being shipped, but my incubator was delayed and now won't arrive Friday. Should I keep them at room temp or refrigerate until the day before the incubator is ready? Thanks!

I am not experienced with incubation, but I would not recommend putting hatching eggs in the refrigerator.

Above 80 degrees and the embryos develop which isn't ideal, if your house is 70 or so I might just leave them at room temp for 2 days, though the fridge is also an option however a bit riskier.
