It is unlikely you will get any to hatch.
7 to 10 days is about maximum storage pre-incubation.
After 10 days, even in ideal storage, the hatch success rate is reduced by about 10% per day.

How long will a hen sit on her eggs if they don't hatch?
A broody hen will gather a clutch of eggs both laying her own and by stealing the eggs of other hens. From the day she stops moving off the nest, she will set on the eggs for 21 days to first hatch and remain with the chicks for weeks after.
Can you move a broody hen?
Do you mean move eggs being incubated? If you move eggs from under a chicken, she may move with them, or she may just leave them. If she has been sitting for a few days it is best to throw away the eggs. I have a very young chicken sitting right now, on all the eggs she can find! It remains to be seen if she will stay the course, or if the eggs are fertilized as the cockerel is quite old. I have moved eggs from where they were being sat on, but the chicken did not sit on them once moved. She was in a flower bed, and not really in a safe place. After about a week, she was disturbed by a hedgehog, at 2:00 in the morning. If a hen is determined enough, and you can somehow move her and the eggs simultaneously, it may work. They can be moved to an incubator and kept at the same temperature, but once left uncovered for a few hours, they are unlikely to hatch. ******************************************************************** Of course you can move chicken eggs. I have taken them from the coop and have put them in the incubator with an undetermined age of the eggs. After they are in the incubator I handle them with protective gloves to avoid contamination.

Can you take duck eggs from the mother and put them in a incubator?
Yes you can incubate duck eggs and here is how with my prior knowledge do NOT forget a step 1: Buy a egg turner incubator Tractor Supply has them for about $42 where I live 2: set incubator for 95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit do not ever change temperature 3. sprinkle warm water over the eggs daily up until 18 day 4: they will hatch about 21 days so do not touch the eggs on the 18th day they are getting ready to hatch 5: you will maybe wake up one day and have baby ducklings! it is a hard process and takes a lot of care but at the end you get rewarded with cute fluffy fluff balls with a bill (duck's beak) By the Way draw on the egg with a pencil only on the top and bottom of the egg I don't know why you just do it helps somehow mysteriously

Hatching eggs can be bought and hatched in incubators at home. The one-day-old chicks that people can buy, hatch in hatcheries.

How do chickens naturally incubate eggs?
The broody hen gathers eggs for about a week before. She will take eggs from other hens to add to her own lay. Once she decides she has enough she will sit on the clutch of eggs continually for 21 days. She turns the eggs by moving them around twice to three times per day. She only leaves the clutch for food, water and defecation a few times daily and never for more than 10 minutes at one time. Once the chicks start to hatch she will remove old shells and remain on the nest for days protecting the newly hatched chicks.
How long does the chicken sit on an egg for it to be chick?
The hen sits on the eggs for 21 days, and during that time, she turns them for 18 days. The chickens usually hatch at 18-21 days, but I've had chickens hatch at 21-25 days sometimes. The eggs have to fertilized, and not too old by the time she starts to sit. Make sure she is in a nice dry and warm place as well.

Can baby chicks hatch after being in the refrigerator?
Viability of a FERTILIZED egg will drop if kept in the refrigerator for any length of time. Cool about 50F (not cold) and dark with good humidity is the normal way of saving fertile eggs for incubation. A maximum of 7 days. After the seven day period the first save lose better than 50% of their chance at hatch and that drops daily for every extra day saved thereafter.

Do bird eggs have to be incubated?
No. In the old days, before incubators, setting hens sat upon the eggs to keep them warm. I have a hen that sits on her eggs, even though they are not fertile. I have to lift her up to collect them. Today some people still let hens sit on the eggs, but incubators have a higher success rate. They are more reliable.
