Tomorrow I'll be receiving eggs from 3 different farms from all over this great country. What should I do with them when they get here? Do I let them sit out, rotate, or just put them in my incubator? Would love any advice, this is my first time with shipped in fertilized eggs. Thanks!
 
same here, so, I am watching this one, I was advised intend to unpack them and let them sit for a day, small end down, until I set them in the incubator the very next day.
I am setting mine on thursday or friday.
 
This is what I do.

When I get the eggs, if they are already warm when I unpack them, I put them straight into the incubator. Why let them cool down? But I keep the turner off the first 2-3 days. If the eggs are cool when I get them I let them come to room temp then put them in with the turner off for the first 2-3 days. That gives them extra time to rest incase they have loose air sacs. Been working for me.
