She lays 6 eggs weekly so two weeks is ok 12 egss is good option.Under controlled temperature and humidity, I have kept eggs as long as 21 days with good hatch rates. I would say two weeks easily. Just think how long it takes a hen to build a clutch prior to going broody.
I would be happy with 10 hatchedSome broody type hens will lay 15-16 eggs in a hidden nest and in three weeks time show up with that many chicks. Most hens do not lay an egg every day so it's pretty certain that it took 3 weeks for that many eggs to be laid before brooding starts. From that I'd recommend that you save eggs for two weeks and then incubate. In this way you have a great chance of all the eggs being viable.
Thanks! I keep it in my bedroom because every other room is exposed to sun..Keep the eggs in a clean, moderate temperature and humidity area and turn daily. Good luck.
