2 orders of eggs coming in the mail. Can I put them in the incubator on different days?

[My peeps]

I have 2 orders of eggs coming in. One order should be here on Wednesday and the other should be here on Friday. Can I put the one set in on Wednesday and add the other ones on Friday or should I wait until I get them all? When they come in the mail, should I let them sit over night to settle? This is my first attempt at hatching eggs so any help is appreciated!! Thank you!

you might wanna wait & set it all together at the sametime.

Shipped eggs should be left for 24 hours to settle before you set them anyway, so I'd say let the Wednesday eggs settle and wait for the Friday eggs, let them settle and set them all together. There are some great tips on incubating shipped eggs here in this article, if you're interested:

Good luck with your hatch!
