So, we took the plunge and have 20 shipping eggs arriving Saturday! My plan was to immediately (carefully) unpackage them and set them fat end up at room temperature next to the brooders in an egg carton for 24 hours.
My question is: to help continue to let the air cells reattach, do we take out the egg turners and keep them in the carton with the fat end up for 3-4 days of the incubation period? We have a Maticoopx30. I had understood about day 7 is a good day to do the first candling.
Do we then put the ones doing well back in, fat end still up (vertically aligned) into the egg turners after that first candling after unviable ones are removed?
Wanting to be sure I understand it right to make things go as smoothly as possible.
