Last weekend I picked up some nice dark BCM eggs from @ladycat . I put 8 under a broody BCM hen I had and 7 in the incubator along with some other eggs from random hens that have several BCM roos over them.


ladycat's BCM marans eggs, very large eggs:





Thanks @ladycat !

I hope they all hatch for you! Since they weren't shipped, they should hatch good!
 
I'm getting conflicting advice on hatching shipped eggs. I know to let them sit for 24hrs before placing them in the incubator. Should they go on the turner or not? And how long before they start getting turned? I've never hatched shipped eggs before. I want to do everything right to give them a good chance to hatch. Thanks.

Personal Preference....some people let them st 12-24hrs and then put them in the incubator in the turners.

Some let them sit 12hrs then put them in egg cartons standing up in the bator for up to 48hrs

Just depends....i let mine rest for 24hrs then put them in the turners, i have had results with that method for me in my incubator with my turner...other peoples results may vary.

i know for shipped muscovy eggs you let the msit for 24-36hrs, then place them in the turner with it off...wait 72hrs and turn the turner on... so its up to what you wanna do.
 
So duck eggs are treated different? These are turkey eggs. I did post on the turkey thread too. I value everyones opinion and I am hoping to get some good advice from the chicken shippers/hatchers. One day I'm going to hatch some of Ladycats dark marans eggs. Hubby jumped the gun and bought these turkey eggs now.

Well muscovy duck eggs specifically are different because they take 35days on average to hatch....so the longest of chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, guineas etc.

Some goose eggs can take up to 35 days as well but most are 28 days.

Amazon. It was cheaper than ordering directly from Avian Webs or whatever they're called.

Wow, I'm surprised there's such a shipping fiasco with Amazon. I live in boondocks Iowa and get things right on time from them. Have you had some of that cold/nasty weather? (TX is a big place). Hope the weekend flies by for you and it gets there on Monday!
