I've got shipped eggs under a broody due to hatch Wednesday.
The eggs were allowed to settle for 24 hours in a carton pointy side down. They were candled to inspect for cracks before setting. All looked good.
Mine were started in a bator as I was still grafting my broody to the Maternity Ward nest. She got them on day 8. They were candled on day 8 and 14 and all 6 eggs were developing.
