2nd attempt: eggs arrive today.

[KristaChickenWhisperer]

Hey all...I am about to attempt my 2nd hatch! (1st one didn't go well...)

My eggs are due to arrive today and I have a question. How long should I let the eggs sit at room temp before setting them in the bator? My mom said she read 3hrs, but the hatchery we ordered from says 6-8hrs.

Any recommendations?

There will be people who know ALOT more than me,

but have read 24 hours and that has worked out for me. I would be interested to know more experienced opinions though.

I let mine sit for atleast 24hrs if not longer
