hatching eggs

[sammark]

I'm getting 6 hatching sebastopol eggs through the post on Tuesday. & I need a bit of advice, I know I'm supposed to leave the eggs to settle for a day or 2 before incubation. My partner/fiance is convinced we should store them pointy side down for some reason but I think we should just keep them flat the way they would be usually in a nest. Any advice or help on how I should store them to boost the chances of survival would be much appreciated. Thanks

Pointy side down because it helps the aircell stabilize. And by all means DON'T let them settle for a day or two. Let them sit out at room temp for about 6-12 hours, then put them in the incubator.

Thankyou very much, I will do that and hopefully get a sucessful hatch. Cheers
