I've kept fertile eggs for hatching at room temp (turned twice per day)
and had decent hatch rates, but I keep my home fairly cold. Recommended
keeping time for hatching eggs is 10 days.

The chicks hatch fine.

If the shells are intact and you don't WASH the fresh eggs, they keep
fine at room temp for quite awhile.

Longer refrigerated tho'. I guess it depends on your egg consumption
rate.
