Bringing up to temp.

I'm having my quail eggs delivered ups and it is still a bit chilly up here in the land of beer and cheese. Should I let my eggs sit and come up to room temperature before I put them in the incubator?:/:

:

Shipped eggs should sit for 24 hours before going into incubation. At least that's the majority opinion.

Thanks for the info. I suppose they need a day to "settle down" a bit.
Thank you again!!

Do you know about checking for detatched air cells and incubating them upright and all that shipped egg jazz???

No ,that's greek to me.
I'm putting them in my old egg turner.im my old little giant. Hmm? All my stuff seems to be old. Lol

I don't/haven't delt with shipped eggs because the hatch rate is much lower and because there is more entailed, but from what I have picked up so far is that the first thing you need to do is look at the air cell to see if they are detached or ruptured. Most people do not turn or let their eggs be turned the first few days because they are hoping the air cell reattaches. If you have wonky air cells it's best to incubate and hatch them upright. Most use cut down egg cartons for hatching.

I use an older model LG too at the moment.

I'll let them set for a day once they show up.

I have an egg turner, with quail cups, that will hold them pointy nose down.

Thanks again for the tips and info.
