I got in 18 eggs today. The USPS is an idiot. They ignore the sign that says call me and send it bumping all day to my house. I'm letting them rest for a day or so until I put in the 'bator. SBEL's Super Blue Egg Layers. I've got my 11 5 day olds out under the shade for the rest of the day. They will go back in the storeroom tonight. It only gets to 70 as low so I think I'll not put the heat lamp on again. First day they are running around having fun. These were pullet eggs and they are TINY.
I hope you get a good hatch. In the past, I have let them rest upright in a carton for 48 hours. It gives the aircell a chance to recover, I think. Are you planning to put them in an automatic turner? I have heard that is better than laying them down in an incubator or under a broody to keep the aircell stable and in the right place.
