Letting eggs sit after being shipped?

[jbowyer01]

Help!!!! Its been a while since I did a hatch and I have forgotten how long I need to let the eggs sit after the have been shipped to me (before I actually set them in the incubator after picking them at the post office). I seem to recall it only being a couple of hours but I can not locate the information anywhere. I've searched through the BYC learning center for the answer but cant find anything.

is good to wait at least 24 hours

I figured mine would sit in the incubator. They went right in after they came up to temp.

Most are doing just fine.

Thanks I appreciate it.

I always wait at least a day.... I also candle them before they go in to make sure the air sacks haven't been detached.

HI....I tried the method where you put them in the bator once you get them but dont turn them until after 24hours...this way it gives them a chance to settle and it worked prettty good on my last shipment of silkie eggs....actually got babies...used a brinsea octagon eco 20 for that hatch
