Best Answer

Under optimum conditions a fertilized egg can be kept for up to 10 days with some chance of a viable hatch. The sooner used after lay the better but viability drops with warm conditions and low humidity. After seven days storage, 70% viability is reached and a further 10% per day thereafter. Eggs older than 10 days have little or no chance of incubation.

It depends on the time of year and the ambient room temp, but your usually looking at about 2-3 hours before you start losing embryos. Larger eggs cool slower.

How long can duck eggs survive in the cold?

Duck eggs that have baby ducks inside can only last around 60 hours in the cold without being incubated. If they have no baby inside they can last a long time. Up to a few weeks. But if the egg is left to long then it will go rotten. Check first to see if the egg is fertile, if so transfer to an incubator or under a broody hen. Go to duckeggs.com for more accurate answers.
