so, a few days ago i hatched my first ever toulose goose (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/first-time-hatching-goose-eggs-o.1305909), i am building a pen for waterfowl and i wanted to add a few indian runners as well so i went ahead and ordered 8 indian runner eggs from a very reliable farm here where i live. They are shipped eggs and will arrive tomorrow. I just finished disinfecting my bator with bleach, and now i have a few questions for you all
1- how long should i let the eggs sit after they arrive?
2- should they sit in the incubator's room or do they need some special temperature and humidity?
3- should i cool eggs and mist them? i heard so much conflicting information, my bator's instructions say 20 minutes of cooling every day until lockdown from day 10, and misting only after the eggs have cooled down. Is that correct/good?
thanks in advance for anyone who will answer
