Eggs sticking together?

How long after being laid to eggs start sticking together? The incubator I bought is a lot smaller than I thought it would be and so I'll probably have to split my clutch into two containers depending on how many eggs my female has, so I was wondering, if she has them during the night and I dont catch it till morning, are they going to be stuck together by then?

Typically with in an hour or so.. Once the air hits them they start to stiffen up and the "Glue" sets

Ed is completely correct. However, I usually seperate all of my eggs in every clutch, and am very successful at doing it. I have only torn 1 egg in about 600. My females will typically lay at night, and I can "very carefully" seperate them in the morning.

Thank you both :) I tried googling this and searching in the forums but couldn't find anything! So thank you!
