storing quail eggs

[p.james]

Do the eggs need to be kept cooler than room temp if you are just going to eat them?

 

[jenjscott]

only if you are going to store them for an extended period of time.

It depends on what room temp is. Above 98 & they start to incubate in a few hours but below that they last a long time.

Thanks for the info folks.

Most eggs will start a slow development at 70 degrees. The embryo if stored at 70 degrees for a number of days will die as it takes higher temps to maintain growth. I would store the eggs cooler than 70 wether incubating or eating. That development could be bad either way.

Keep them below 70
