Acclimate eggs for how long?

[berkeleysprings]

just got eggs in mail 5 seconds ago and i wondered how long i should wait to place them in lg incubator . i live in virgina and temp in apartment is around 72 and outside is around 53

I usually let mine settle for 12-24 hours...depending on how impatient I am!

Let them rest for around 12 hours and come to room temp. Some people let their shipped eggs come to room temp, and then put them in the incubator, but dont turn them the first day or 2.
