That was just so I could deal with you. Don't know what I'm going to do about the jury...

The jury's already brought in a verdict of guilty; your job is over.

Didn't need to go to Lowes after all; remembered some plywood sheets I had stored in the old walk-in coop.
It does pay to keep stuff you may need sometime in the future, no matter what the DW says to the contrary.
Unfortunately, it's fixing to rain the rest of the day.

Agreed. The old bubble insulation and light sockets that were LO from a project came in handy for the bator!

Never hatched anything before. Have quail eggs coming on Friday (never raised quail before). I have chickens and chicks and read incubating forums for weeks. I am sorry to ask and not look it up, but research is starting to frustrate me.

It is going to be cold windy and raining all week. Highs in the 50 lows in the upper 30s/low 40s Will the eggs hold up at those temps in the mail?

Incubator has been acclimating a full day already, held at 100 all night. Going to town to get more thermometers and hydrometers because it seems you need as many different kinds as you can get and as many you can fit safely in the incubator. Oh need a wireless indoor/outdoor cause I have chicks in a small uninsulated coop outside in this nasty weather and want to keep a closer eye on them. Oh feed, those quail will need to eat something when they hatch.

This Wisconsin weather I tell ya. We go from a sunshine 70 to wind driven raining 40 degrees.

#1 son lives in Racine, <a mile from the lake; well aware of the screwed-up weather there.

I'm not expert on shipping eggs, but it seems you've got all your bases covered, unless I'm missing something.
You might want to tell the shipper how you want the eggs packed; ie., add some insulation material, just in case...shouldn't take much. You're paying for the eggs; you have that right. If they're bubble wrapped, as they should be, they should be fine.
