Shipped eggs

[cherieangelle]

I just had some eggs shipped. They’re warm from being in the box, should I go ahead and let them sit & get to room temperature (it’s like 70 degrees in my house)
I’d hate for them to get cold & die bc they got too cold
TIA! My other shipped eggs, I set for 24 hours but they weren’t really warm like these are!

Usually, you get them sit to settle the air cell. You can put them in the incubator, no point in letting them cool, but donr turn them for a few days.

I agree
Set them in and let them settle 24-48 hours
Good luck
What are you hatching ?
