Shipped eggs

[mstricer]

How long does everyone that has bought shipped eggs let them sit before putting them in bator?

I let mine sit on the counter after arriving and put them in the incubator that night. Generally 6 hours or so.

I'm getting ready to set mine now. Arrived at around 11am. That means day one is tommoroe.

6- 24 hrs... depending on things...
I don't think I have seem a link between hatch rate and time sitting out before incubating.

I put them in the next morning.

yeah, not really too big of an issue. I let them settle in and come to room temp, then go one with it. Like they said, get them that morning, set them that night. Have placed them right from the box to the bator too, really notice no difference. I also candle them on arrival and check the air cells to be sure they arent ruptured. If they are, setting them is a total waste of time as they will never hatch.
Main factor on them is their trip more than a set time frame before setting.
