Store them for a few days?

[washxc]

Quick question. I have eggs in the incubator on day 19, lockdown. My neighbor just gave me 6 fertile blue eggs as a gift. Will they keep for 3 or 4 days while I hatch out the eggs in the bator? And if so, where should I store them? I know 50 degrees is ideal but I'm looking at the refrigerator or room temperature (68).

They'll remain fertile for a week then degrade from there. I have hatched eggs that were 3 weeks old before. If I have to hold mine for a few days I put them in an egg carton and then in a plastic container and stick them under the house. The temperature stays a steady 60 - 65 degrees. I've got some bcms I just brought out from under my house that I've been saving since last saturday. Going in the incubator tomorrow.
