2 days....I think I would just go buy one. then you can start the build it yourself model for your second hatching.

Start calling friends or friends of friends to see if you could borrow one. I borrowed one on short notice from a nice lady I know in passing and I remembered she had hatched eggs last year. She was super nice and now I have a new friend to chicken-chat with.

You will want to rest those eggs a good 24 hours after receiving them in the Mail to let them settle. It wouldn't hurt to go for 48 hours if they are fresh so take a deep breath and start calling folks. You will want to get the incubator' temp stable for about a day before placing the eggs.

Good luck!
