setting shipped eggs/question.

[s n l]

Good morning! My shipped eggs arrived yesterday. I've let them set 24 hrs. The incubators (2) , are preheated. Do I set eggs directly into warm incubator? Or turn incubator off, set eggs and turn back on to allow the eggs to gradually warm? Also, the incubators have been in storage 2 years. I cleaned them with warm water, bleach on the egg turning trays, and left in the sun to dry. But the rcom pro has a funky smell. It didn't before I plugged it in....what can I do to clean it? (Again)

Put them in the warm incubator. Don't freak out if the temperature fluctuates a lot the first day or so. It will settle down.

Not familiar with the rcom pro but a funky smell doesn't sound good. Could a mouse or something have died in it somewhere?
