Storing hatching eggs

[lhines08]

It will take us approximately 7 to 9 days to collect them ammont of eggs we need to for incubation. The coolest place in our house is our basement ranges between 60 and 65. But the humidity is in the 40/50s
Is that to low of a humidity?

That's too low. The humidity has to be 60% or more.

I think think they will be fine in the basement.

Hi there and welcome to BYC!

what color/size/breed eggs will you be storing?

I hatch eggs older than that all the time.. but check out the following link that includes information on extended storage times, etc.. including techniques such as.. turning, storing upside down, or using a plastic bag.. not likely all at the same time.. one of my favorite incubation resources, consider bookmarking it for future reference..

Incubation guide

Beyond that.. maybe add a humidifier to the basement or in a closet. Or a bowl of water next to them??

Hope this helps some,
Happy hatching!
