storing eggs before setting - need answers!

[birdbrain5]

what temp do you store eggs at before setting them? i have had mine in the house and the temp reads between 65-70 in here. is that too warm? it gets cold here at night so i feel i shouldnt be leaving them outside.
also- how long do you store your turkey eggs, chicken eggs and guinea eggs before you set them? i have read many opinions on this and cant seem to get a solid answer. i know some say no longer than 10 days, but i KNOW i read someone say they have kept thier turkey eggs for almost a month. maybe im crazy

Hatching eggs are fertile regardless of how long you store them, however they start loosing viability after 10 days. The best way to keep them as viable as possable is to store them pointy side down at room temp is fine. You need to turn them 3 times daily. I have a 1602n and a Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco. What I do if I have to store the eggs for a day or two, which is about to happen for me, I put them in the incubator with it off, but turn on the turner.

Here is a PDF file on the storage and incubation of poultry eggs from the Mississippi state univ.
