Hello. I have some hens and a rooster and decided to try to hatch some chicks with my son. Bought an incubator and one day while gathering eggs, we stuck a few eggs in the incubator to give it a whirl. On day 10, 100 degrees, turning them everyday. Hers my question. Am I wasting my time, because someone at work said I have to keep them in a cool dry place for 5-7 days before incubating them. Is this tru and should I pitch these eggs. Not sure how to candle brown eggs either. Thank you sooo much for any help in this matter. My son is excited, but im afraid we may have to start over.... Thanks again. God Bless
