Eco 20 briNsea and hatching eggs

[mn454]

I got my hatching eggs today at 10 am, should I wait to set them tomarrow or should i do it tonight? My brinsea has been working for the last 4 days, the temperature is at 99.2 and humiditiy is at 43 with the two channels of water. Any thing I should change?

Sounds good. I would set them tonight, right before you go to bed, but waiting until the morning would be fine too. They say 12-24 hours for shipped eggs.

I put mine in my brinsea right from the box and right into the bator. I had a great hatch rate.

why do people wait to set the eggs?

When people received them thru the mail, they let them settle for 8 to 12 hours. It gives the eggs time to settle down an stablize. A resting period of not being jostled around and they come to room temp. If they're your own there's no reason to wait - that I know of.

I got my eggs today about 3 hours after you got yours (no need to settle, I picked them up). I just set them at about 10:45pm. I hope all goes well with your hatch and mine.

I set 8 eggs with a broody hen and 16 on the eco 20 at around 10:30 1/6/10. Let see which will have a better hatch.
