Veiled egg temp ?

[jrh3]

is 69 to 85 a good range for veiled eggs? 69 would be the lowest during winter and 85 at max in summer, im planning on keeping them in a closet and it could reach these temps but most of the time the temps will be around 72-76. but will an ocasional 69 drop be fine and a 85 spike be ok.

Yes but you won't want your eggs going much above 79. I understand it could spike for a brief time but if your house stays above that for very long you might consider a colder area of your house (if one exists.)

it wont likley get over 79 but is the 69 temp ok

 

[jrh3]

so most people dont use an incubator and just use the closet method, is this correct?

 

[CNorton]

Yes, the closet method is pretty common. Your temp range has more danger under 69 than over 79. If it does get much below 69 often, you might be looking at a longer incubation. Anywhere between 72-79F is the sweet spot.

Consider yourself lucky with veiled eggs, a few of us are trying to engineer night time drops of 15-20 degrees with well over a year in incubation time.
