how long should shipped eggs rest?

[abhaya]

This is gonna be my first try with shipped eggs how long shouls I let them rest befor they go into the bator?

I let mine rest 24 hrs others only 12. I have also read not to turn on the egg turner for 2 days after setting. You will get lots of different answers. Good luck with your hatch.

I usually wait 24 hours, sometimes 12 if other eggs are waiting to go in the incubator with them.

I do 8-12 myself. Maybe I should try 24 and they will hatch better.

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

Minimum 12 here, but can't wait much longer than that!

12-24 hours depending if I have eggs waiting or not. I try for 24 at the least.
