How long do I let my eggs settle before setting them?/Update on 3rd pg

[vicki2x2]

I have a borrowed Little Giant, still air, with a turner. I tend to jump into things with both feet. We have had chickens for the last 4 years in the spring and summer only and then my daughter would sell them at fair. We have decided to keep them full time this year on a much bigger scale than 3-5 chicks.

So I have ordered 15 chicks, then got impatient and order a couple dozen eggs. I have already got plans for an addition to our barn for the chickens and I am also getting some geese. Hubby gets a tad upset if I buy too much too quickly, so I borrowed the incubator and I am trying to be good and not order a new bator!

Well, things are not off to a good start. The eggs I ordered were shipped Monday. Tuesday they tracking number didn't show anything. Today I expected a call from the post office, no call, so I checked the tracking number again. My "package" has been misrouted, they are trying to get it back on track soon. OH GOODY!! That sounds promising, NOT!!

I am also have trouble getting the incubator that I borrowed (LG, still air) to hold a temp and humidity, so I gave in an ordered the 1588! At this rate, it will be here before the eggs!

So Sorry! Things do happen, where did you order your bator from? I received my order from Double R in 2 days. So they could get there the same time!

I ordered from Cutler. They are in Michigan like I am, so I hoped that would mean it would get here faster!

I bet it does!! Did you order it in the morning or later in the day? That might make a difference, I ordered mine in the morning.

 

[vicki2x2]

I ordered it at 10:30 this morning. She said it would ship today or tomorrow. Hopefully it ships today and is here tomorrow!!
