Hi everyone 
I have just received a dozen Ancona eggs that arrived in the mail.
I am wondering if anyone here has any tips or tricks for getting the best hatch rates possible from shipped eggs.
I plan to let them sit upright, small end down for 24 hours before putting them in the incubator. I believe I will also need to candle to check for air sac detachment?
The eggs look pretty dirty and I know they shouldn’t be washed per say but I don’t want bacteria to enter the egg either, so what should I do with that?
Thanks in advance for any help!
