Floating/Stilling eggs

[Guest Blue Pied Cock]

Hi all,

I am thinking about taking the first round of eggs away from the stock pigeons to float under the racers, my question is how long is it possible to still eggs under optimum conditions. I know you are suppose to turn the eggs each day but what would be the ideal temprature to store them? I have heard of fanciers who keep them anything upto 3 weeks, surely this can't be posssible.

it is possible just keep them in a cupboard in the house when i had finches used to take egg away every day for 5 days then put them back i never turned them but they still hatched no bother hope this helps

would you not keep them in the fridge.

                       i keep my eggs in an egg box next to the kettle and turn em every time i have a cup of tea, works for me  ,  they dont have to be in the fridge.i might add i only do it with a couple of pairs of eggs as i dont have a lot of birds.

can you not pair the racers up at the same time then that makes it a lot easier, this year we paired some birds up but also paired up another pair next to each box so we can just move them under the feeders
