Do I need to rest hatching eggs?

[TheLaboratoryBF]

I picked up 36 coturnix hatching eggs today from a local source; do they need to be rested (like shipped eggs) prior to placing in the (already prepared and running) incubator?

Thanks!

i've only hatched eggs a few times so i'm not an expert. Maybe @Kiki knows.

Usually you only worry about shipped eggs resting because they get tossed around and they may need time for the air cells to settle. If you didn't throw them around, they should be fine.

I would not rest them.

Good luck!

If it's hot were you are I wouldn't rest them outside of the incubator. If it's cool, then I'd let them rest for a couple of hours, reach room temp (temp of the room the bator is in) before I would set them.
