Time is not on your side when you collect eggs to hatch. Properly stored, they can be "held" for up to 7 days. After 7 days, viability declines very rapidly. After 2 weeks of holding, you have about a 0% chance that any of your eggs will hatch. There are charts available to show exact losses for each day more than the optimum 7 the percentage drops.
