HELP! A friend bought eggs from Ebay....

[seabreeze]

Received the eggs but NO instructions came with how to handle the eggs before putting in incubator, when to put in incubator etc.,

I've only hatched fresh from our coops.

Please advise ASAP! Thanks!

Put them in a carton small end down and let them sit at room temp for about 12 hours. Good luck and have fun!!!!!!

you want to let shipped eggs settle for a minimum of 12 hrs prior to placing in the incubator.

Let the eggs rest for up to 24 hours before putting in the bator. Make sure the bator is running and at the correct temp before eggs are put in. Once you put eggs in the bator, temp will drop - DO NOT adjust the temp, it can take up to 24 hrs for the bator to get back to temp (it has to warm all those eggs

).



Good hatching vibes

I just texted them and they were just about to stick them in the bator! PHEW! What would I do without this community? Have a bunch of eggs and no chickens prolly!
