Hello. I am only a second time hatcher and the first time didn’t have the best success rate so I am after some advice!
Unfortunately I was unable to find any eggs locally of the breeds I wanted so I have been sent some through the post. I am waiting on others before incubating them together.
I know you need to let them settle for 24 hours pointy end down but what about turning them? Do I leave them completely for 24 hours and then turn them? Or do I start turning them straight away?
They have just arrived and I’ve currently opened the polystyrene box and left them inside with the lid off. Is this ok or should I transfer to an egg box and lid open or closed?
Thanks in advance!
