FACT: fertile eggs can sit at room temperature for two weeks before being incubated, and will still hatch! The first 10 days of a parakeet's life are the most delicate. Once they make it to the downing and pin feathers, they usually survive.
Since it may not be practical for you to put the eggs in an incubator as soon as you get them, protect them from extreme variations in temperature. Ideally, eggs should not be more than 7 days old when they are set (placed in incubator). Beyond that point, hatchability declines. If it is necessary to hold the eggs before you set them, turn them daily and keep them in a room where the temperature is around 50o F (10 C) and the relative humidity is 70 to 80 percent.
