Don't load them the first day you get them!! Candle them now and check their air sacs. Most likely they are loose, and if that is the case, do NOT candle them again until after Day 10 of incubation to cut down on movement. Let the eggs sit all day long with the pointy ends down so that the air will collect up at the top and they have a chance to "settle". Then, tomorrow load them. I've jumped the gun before on shipped eggs, and every time I do, I have a ZERO hatch when I try to load them the same day I get them. I had 7 out of 12 hatch on this last go around and i let them sit for almost 2 days before I loaded them.![]()
That was my plan! I am going to load them probably tomorrow night or Sun am. What am I looking for when I candle them? How do I tell if the air sac is loose?
