She said/He said Who's right? Who's wrong? No one!

I let my eggs sit for 12 hours or more....up to 24. Then candle them to see how jumbled up the may be or if the air cells have detached. Then once I place them in the incubator I do not plug in the auto turner until day 3 or 4. This give the air cells some time to reset if they are going to reset. Most of the time your air cells will be a saddlebag shape or move around which usually indicates they will need yhe hatch in an egg cart. To hold the air cell up in the big end so they don't drown. Let me know if this has helped you in anyway. ;)
Cute!!!!! I love hatching chicks!!!!

It's not. Trust me. Ravyn can vouch and sat that the eggs technically don't need turning until day 4 to day 15?? Right?? I can't remember the last day number to be exact.

Yep!!!
 
@Rod-T it really all depends on the condition the air cells are in when you get them... don't worry too much just yet, they haven't even arrived yet... :)
When you get them and unpack, candle and look for jiggly, loose air cells or bubbles or full rolling air cells... once you know what you will be dealing with, post back here and we can give more accurate advise on how to handle them...

Btw, if I get shipped eggs with good air cells, I put them right in a turner, but that's me, lol...
 
Thank you for the positive vibes everyone!

Progress report!

10 externals now, and a hatcher!

Its early yet, day 21 starts around 3-4 this afternnon. 3 of the pips are my green ones, that chick is one of my greens, nothing on the Bresse or Isbars yet. Makes me kinda nervous...
 
I've spent the last five decades exercising my brain, not my body, and it shows.  


I find that more appealing in a person than the opposite... :D ;)

They could hatch in order, so don't be nervous yet. Like you said, its still early! Congrats on the first one, good luck on the rest!
