I am a first time chicken owner and i am loving it !! I live in South Carolina where we have 4 seasons and i am a bit concerned about moving juvinals into the coop in Winter. I am very interested in learning '' ALL" there is to know about my flock, I have 20 birds Buff Orphingtons,Americanas, Whiteleg , Game, Polish and my precious Silkies. I currently have 8 in the incubator and 6 waiting to go in. I am confused about the store time before incubating and i am just going to use trial and error at this point. I am looking forward to learning and getting to know you guys.

Welcome! Just write the dates on the eggs when you put them in. As long as they're not older than about a week and a half they should incubate just fine. We ship eggs all over the US and it takes us on average about 2-3 days to collect enough to fill (sometimes 1 if it's a small order) We have had good feedback on the eggs hatching that we ship. It usually takes 3 days on average once they leave us to get to their destination and then they need to rest for a day, so by the time they make it into the incubator they're 5 days to a week old. Development doesn't start (Day 1 of 21) until you put them in the incubator, so as long as the 6 aren't too old when you put them in you should be fine. Best of luck and happy hatching.
