~Test Hatchers~ All Have Been Shipped

[sjutton]

Quick Question:

When I receive eggs in the mail what do I "do"?

I read where someone said they were letting them rest. We have incubated several batches but never from shipped eggs.

I have already spoken with our mail carrier and he's going to call from the post office so I can just come get them immediately. That way they won't ride on the truck all day.

What do I do when I get home?

Thanks!

you let them set atleast six to eight hours so they can settle even over night is better. Some candle before they put them in but I don't. I just candle on the 7th day (or before.......lol) and check them then. good luck

I didn't think of that,,,,

Just to be safe I will re-collect and ship on Wed.

Austin,

I candled tonight again and so far I have 8 of 9 developing.

Sweet!

I always have good hatches with my Buffs, every single egg I have ever incubated EVERY single one has hatched, but I wasnt sure because I collected for three days to get your eggs
