HELP!

So I ordered a bielefelder chicken egg, and it will be arriving on April 4th, I ordered a incubator a few weeks before, it was supposed to arrive today but there was a delay so now it’s arriving on April 8th, how can I make sure the egg will make it without a incubator for 4 days.

Do you know when the egg was laid? Normally eggs can have a reasonable chance of hatching ig they get put in an incubator before ten days pass.

It was laid around 2 to 4 days ago

It should be fine, then. Good luck!

Can I just leave it in a egg carton for 4 days?

This isn't unusual.

I've found my mail is delivering supplies weeks later than normal now days, because of what's going on. (But it doesn't seem to be affecting overnight packages, though that's going to be expensive.)

Example; ordered wheat from 1 state over (the state bordering mine) 3 weeks ago. And its still not here. (I only care if it shows up more than if its on time.)

But I would encourage all of you to plan for weird mail date deliveries now because there's a lot of supply and truck logistics disruption right now.

OK, to solve your problem, you could probably make something homemade to buy you a week of time, etc. All you really need is some duct tape, a couple cheap thermometers. You can buy these hand held battery tiny fans at Walmart for 3 bucks. You could use one of those foam coolers (very cheap, but hard to find). And rig up a light bulb and plug in to be placed in the foam cooler ( or other cheap tote.) Then use zip ties (these don't cost much) to hold the fan in the cooler (they could also help hang the light), and then rig it all up together.

You will have to watch it carefully while you make adjustments over time to make sure this setup works. But a lot of people are doing stuff like this on Youtube. But the problem is that the people on youtube make it look like you plug it in and your done with no troubles or adversity. In reality, most of us have to check it hourly for the first few days worth of adjustments to work out the kinks. (But the cool part is these can be done super cheap.)

Yes.

Thank you
