I wouldn't wait too long before incubating the eggs. The longer you wait the less viable the eggs will be and since they came from a store there is no way to tell how old they are. The carton may be dated.

Oh I am going back to buy some on the day I get my eggs too. I just got some tonight for eating. Do you know if they need to be room temperature before going in the incubator?

I will try a dozen, lots of stores around here selling them and a farmers market,,,,,,,won't be setting till the 7th though....my ordered eggs should be here the 6th so will put them in along side....

That is my time frame! I have eggs coming on the 6th plan to set on the 7th and will get some organic eggs from a local market to add too!

The eggs should be brought up to room temp slowly to avoid sweating

I agree. I would bring them up to room temperature too before putting them into the incubator.

Great thank you! It's good too let them sit for about 24 hrs anyway right?

I'm in! I'll have to go to Whole Foods this weekend. I have heard different people who have gotten varying results from their eggs, but I'll get the freshest (which seems to be the key there) and give is a try.

Does anyone know if Harris Teeter sells eggs that could be fertile? I haven't seen a TJ since I was back home in So Cal, and I am not sure if there is a Whole Foods around here either. However there IS a Harris Teeter close by, and I will be setting my Ebay eggs (BCM & Millies) sometime tomorrow and would love to throw in a batch of "experiment" eggs!

Since they came from a store, I would let them sit at least overnight. It takes quite awhile for the internal temperature to come up. When I get shipped eggs I put them in the incubator right away but leave the turner off for a day.
