It depends on how you store them. I use to store eggs for a week to 2 weeks depending on the amount of eggs as not to have a couple hatch each day.
In general a chicken, duck (game bird) would lay up to 12 eggs and this could be either every 24 hours or 48 hours. If we work on 48 hours and 12 eggs it calculates to 24 days. Therefore I would say 3 weeks.
In storing the eggs store in cool place and make sure that the eggs are turned around at least once a day and that they do not dry out. They can be lightly spayed with water if the air is dry.
