Two factorial experiments were conducted to determine the influence of preincubation storage time and temperature on the hatching quality of Bobwhite quail eggs. Each experimental cell represented a holding temperature of 7.2, 12.8, 18.3, or 23.9 C for 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks of storage. Results indicated Bobwhite quail eggs should not be stored longer than 7 days. All temperatures tested gave satisfactory results for 1 week storage; however, if extended storage is required, the holding temperature should be approximately 12.8 C.
