the EGGS are here!!! ......now what?

[blueberrychickens]

The eggs are here,

the eggs are here!!!

Fragile....must be Italian!


Hmmm....they must be in here somewhere?? Lots & lots of packing material!

Ah ha!! I found them!! Each egg is individually wrapped in a paper towel & tucked safely into an egg carton w/ more paper shreddings, then all taped together, nice & sound!


Shipped on Tues from TX, arrived on Thurs in MA, all eggs are intact, none are broken!! As you can see they were packaged very well. Now they are *resting* small pointed end down for a few hours before going in the incubator, which is up & running & at temp of 99-100 degrees. Is there anything else I should do besides breathe??? So would today be day 1 or is tmrw day 1????
So eggsited!!!

Make sure your eggs are at room temp and let them set on the counter for 8 -12 hours before placing the in the incubator. Goof luck! Make sure you post pictures when they hatch!

I was afraid to order eggs, thanks for the photos that helps me see how they are packaged. May try to do a swap now that I have seen the packaging.
