Should I let them settle or not?

[AltonaAcres]

I have hatching eggs coming today. They are coming from within the state. They were shipped out on Monday. I am able to track their "shipping history" and they were at my local post office all night before being out for delivery. Do I need to let them settle since they already did?

They might have gotten hot in shipping and may have started incubation. If they are room temperature or warmer I'd put them right in without turning overnight. Start turning in the morning.

 

[AltonaAcres]

It is too cold here for them to start incubation. Only 60 degrees

 

[BirdsBeesTrees]

They need to be at least room temperature before putting them into the incubator.

 

[AltonaAcres]

They are right now. Its the same temperature inside and outside here currently.

 

[AltonaAcres]

So what should I do?

 

[BirdsBeesTrees]

If they eggs are room temperature I'd put them in without turning them until morning.

 

[AltonaAcres]

My incubator already has eggs in it, so it needs to keep turning. I'll wait until this evening.

A good plan...
