Storing Eggs for Incubation

[mrweaw]

If I want to store my eggs for a few days and then put them into the incubator as a group what temperature should they be kept at?

Thanks!

Around 55 degrees and rotate them each day. Good luck.

A basement closet is about the best place.

I don't remember the exact temp. but I'm in the pnw too and I keep mine in the garage with good results. If you're only storing them for a few days you could probably even leave them on the counter without any problems, but the garage works great this time of year.

Great, Thanks! When I incubate my own they just go right in but a couple of people who got chicks last year would like to try and incubate some and I want to do right by them.
