PeckyBeak Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Tried to amalgamate 3 lots of hatching eggs of various breeds by post to put under my broodies. 2 lots of the eggs arrived on Tuesday, but the others have only just come and will need to be rested. Also had a problem with getting the broodies accommodation ready, and it won't be ready for them until late tomorrow. Will be first lot of eggs still be fertile? They have been stored in the garage where it is cool. Can anyone tell me how long fertilised eggs can be kept for please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 it depends on when they were laid but they should be ok don't put them in the fridge through opions vary as to how long they are viable for but most say about 10-14 days but I've was told 6 weeks but that I very much think was wrong infomation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markAndCharlene Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 We store our hatching eggs for a maximum of 10 days. We keep them in a cool shed and turn them 3 times a day. 14 days will see the fertility drop off dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
