Yes, I let them sit at room temp for 12- 24 hours.

Should i leave my trader joes eggs out until they become room temperature before i incubate them?

absolutely

they will get condensation all over them and bacteria will form if they go from maine to the tropics.

Yes, I will go this weekend! I will check a couple for fertility and send you the rest. Just pay for shipping, how many do you want?

So its day 20 and we have hatching!!!!

Of the 4 dozen 6 were clear at day 5
5 had blood ring "O" death
and one got stuck so I think it had a crack.

So 36 went into lock down and one is making its way out right now. I've been traveling on the road the past three weeks so not sure what the temps have been. My house sitter/neighbor is keeping me posted on whats happening. I did know I've had a few temp spikes to 106 due to warmer outside temps (daily ranges 36-76) so I'm sure inside the house is fluctuating too.

Here is one pic, until I get more.

I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to Carrie!!!!!

these are not rock Island eggs- but it was a fridge egg more on the way. this CoCo Maran was from a friend's fridge.

That is a pretty light egg for a Marans (of any variety). They are not considered true Marans unless they lay a chocolate egg. Cute chick though! How is it doing?
