How long will the fertilized eggs keep when you store them before setting day?
For up to 1 week; any longer and hatch rates will be affected. Keep the fertile, unwashed eggs positioned with pointed end down, in a cool and humid place in the open (temperature between 40 and 60 degrees F). Turn them daily, keeping the pointy end down. The fertility is shortened by high temperature. The earlier the eggs are set, the better. Allow the eggs to warm up slowly before placing in an incubator.
Why do you say put the pointed end down but here you state to put the pointed end up? Eggs under a hen has its pointed end sitting sideways.
Before they go in an incubator, fertile eggs can be stored pointy-end-down in an egg carton for a short period of time. Once they’re put in an incubator, they should be placed on their sides and rotated periodically.
So which is it…pointy end down or pointy end up? You say both in your reply, so, we the readers, do not know which is correct!
