transition temp change from hold to incubation

[tjb]

Good morning! I have collected my eggs for incubation. all - 5 days from lay. I have been keeping them at approx 65-67 degrees.
Do I allow the eggs to slowly warm up prior to setting the incubator temperature?

Just pop them in the incubator. No need to wait for them to come up to room temp. But remember, the cooler the eggs, the longer it will take your incubator to come back up to temp. Give it a few hours to stabilize before you start tinkering with adjustments.

Thanks for the quick response! And, I did not think of the colder eggs making it take a little more time for the incubator to heat up.
