Best Answer

When the egg is layed it is set in a position that it should stay in until hatching Moving the egg to a different position could cause the animal to die or the sack around the egg to deflate causing a weakening of the shell

It depends on the species of bird that laid it, how cold for how long and how far incubated the egg is, but eggs can be left to cool for surprisingly long periods if incubated - in some species it can be days, but most it can be an hour or so. Under ideal storage conditions, fertile eggs from many species of bird will remain viable, if not incubated previously, for a month.
