Are eggs that traveled 2 hour in car ride concidered shipped eggs?

[amosygal]

I bought quail eggs from someone two hour car ride away. Do I need to leave them over-night, or can I place them directly into the incubator?
Thanks

I think I would set them the next day, just to be safe. At least you know you won't have a bunch of detatched air sacs! Good luck with your hatch,

I wouldn't call them shipped.
Shipped is where boxes tumble from one conveyor belt to another and drop into bins and tossed in the back of a truck or onto a plane.

I wouldn't call them 'shipped' either but I would definately let them rest.

You should be able to pop them in the incubator today. I would let them sit for about an hour or two next to the bator to get up to room temp and rest a wee bit from the car trip but that's just a personal preference thing. But, yeah, this would be day zero and tomorrow would be day 1 if I was you.

Thanks everyone,
I think I'll wait another couple of hours and put them in.
