I don’t think 6 days is terribly concerning presumably they were just sitting in a temperature controlled warehouse for a couple days part way through the journey. Probably not a whole lot different than if the breeder would have held on to them for a couple days to avoid the weekend.
When they arrive should I let them sit and rest with air cell up for 24 or 48 hours considering the longer ship time?
I haven’t hatched from shipped eggs yet but I believe 24 hours of rest is the standard recommendation. Then candle and check for any abnormal air cells
Little sleep. Math bad. In transit for 5 days not 6. Friday-Sat-Sun-Mon-Tues.
24 hours it is then! I'll post pictures of the eggs when they arrive. I'm dying to see the color.
I don't rest shipped eggs, maybe a few hours from the time I pick them up at the post office. The way I see it, whatever damage that's been done is done and no amount of "resting" is gonna change that. I do candle before putting them in the incubator to be sure there are no cracks. You'd be surprised what hatches from saddled, broken air cell, eggs.
