Storing Hatching eggs

[DuckCommander]

If hatching eggs are suppose to be stored at 55F/12C, where should I keep them? Its winter here and too cold outside. I have no cold room. Would putting them in a cooler work? Should an ice pack be added somehow? Ideas anyone?!

If you are saving them to hatch yourself with in about a week, room temperature will be just fine. I just sit mine in an egg carton, pointy side down, on my kitchen counter.

I bought fertile eggs from a health food store fridge- and 7 out of the 12 took, I am on day 13. with fridge eggs you are lucky to get 50% to hatch. I called the company to find out how old the eggs were and when I put them in the incubator they were 2 weeks.

Since your eggs were shipped from who knows where and handled who knows now, then refrigerated at a colder temperature than is recommended for hatching eggs, I am surprised that you have any eggs that are threating to hatch. Please keep us informed, I am interested in how this plays out.
