EGGS ARRIVED!! Do they need to rest before going int he bator?

[Crest Acres Girl]

I got my eggs delivered today!! they were shipped to me

Do I need to let them sit in the room for a bit first or they go straight in the bator!?

 

[UrbanMama]

Yup, let them sit 8-12 hrs (I usually let them sit overnight if possible) This will help them get acclimated to the temp in your house and let the everything inside the egg rest and settle back into place.

I'll be setting some more in the AM!

Let them sit for a couple of hours, to come to room temperature, before putting them in...

How should I let them rest? on their sides?

I have 14 BO's in there right now, and I have 4 more (2 BR and 2 Polish) going in the AM. I'm actually supposed to have a full 'bator by tomorrow night....we'll see!

Sorry to hijack

I'm excited! I want them today! Thank goodness I have the next three day off work! I'm having the PO call me so they get as little car rides as possible! I will pick them up at the PO.
