  1. Around 50 days or so. It is very important not to touch the eggs because they break very easily.

    Edit: It is indeed important to get an incubator if you are anxious for the eggs to hatch. Being stored in a warm place will help the eggs to hatch more quickly, but be continuously mindful of how fragile they are. It is important to wipe the mold from the eggs with a damp cotton ball, should they develop mold. The eggs shouldn't be handled much when cleaning.


  2. I hope you haven't moved them. After a day after laying, rotating the eggs can kill them. A usual technique is to mark the top of the egg with a felt-tipped marker so the mark can be kept constantly upward. You can place them in a sanitized plastic bag on top of barely-damp sphagnum or absorbent cotton. Keep the bag where the temperature remains fairly constant, such as the top of the refrigerator. Then, wait a couple of months.

  3. about 50 days so be patient

    Also i u are are rlly exited about it would be good to get a incubator if u cant afford or just dont want to keep it some where that is about 84 degrees  F if u keep it in a place thats to hot the eggs will spoil and they will never hatch.
