i have been storing eggs for years with great sucess i read up on poultry breeding then trial and error from 20 eggs stored i have 100 sucess up to 4 weeks 98 per cent up to 6 weeks this is how i do it as soon as 1st egg is layed lift it and put a dummy in the nest mark the egg with felt tip pen pair no 1 keep note book of who pair no 1 is put egg into a box i use the egg boxes you get at shop for six eggs mark in your book date layed lift 2nd egg put in another dummy mark egg and put in box pack box with tishue paper or soft cloth to take up space between the eggs and top of box eggs should be on there side this way you just turn the box over every day and youre turning 6 eggs at a time or use a bigger box for more choc boxes with lots of compartments can be used as long as there high enough now do not put them in the fridge it chills them and will kill them keep them at room temp mines go on top of a wardrobe and turn the box over every day or the youk will sink to the bottom and stick to the shell and will not hatch dont worry if you forget to turn them an odd time as long as its not longer than 4or5 days they will be ok but one thing you must do is use a fine spray or a teaspoon of water onto the tishue paper once a week or the eggs will dry out then put them under your feeders starting with the eggs you lifted first and thats all there is to it
