Hmm guess this thread is kinda dead.... I set some eggs on the 21st of Feb....2013 now I looked at the Farmers Almanac (not the old farmers almanac) and it said 21 was the last day to set for this month (I didn't plan it just turned out that way..) then remembered g]=hearing about this and came to check it out
1) Are these the dates to set on, or hatch on (for quail). 2) Also, when ordering shipped eggs, how long should you let them "rest" before putting them in the incubator? 3) I'm ordering my first set of eggs soon (just bought a hovabator with automatic turner). Should I just buy a few eggs to try, or go for it and get a bigger batch? Thanks for you patience (newbie!)The old farmers almanac egg setting dates for 2013 are

From the website
Quote: 1) These are the days to set on for chickens. So for quail you set a couple days later (chickens take 21 days to hatch and quail less).
2) Let them rest for 24 hours before putting in the incubator. I've read that the turner best be turnd of for the first two days in the incubator so the aircel can set, i don't know if that is only for chicken or also for other birds.
3) I would go for a bigger batch, but i don't do this for very long either so maybe someone else can give you a better answer about this.
