        What are the consequences of lowering temperature of incubating

eggs. I appreciate that at lower temperatures development slows down- but

does anyone know by how much? At what kind of temperature will the eggs be

damaged? I'm not talking about brief exposures but continous- I've got a few

bags that are months old- with no sign of development, admittedly they were

kept a little cooler than I would normally have kept them (probably 20

degrees)- anyone got any ideas- or done the same thing.

I did the same thing unintentionally last winter. For about six weeks my eggs 
were stored at 55-60 degrees. the end result after moving them to 75 degrees 
was that hatching was delayed at least 6 weeks. It seems they did nothing at 
that temperature. The hatches were pretty much what I expected but delayed.
