Of all the times for it to take 5 days to deliver a Priority 2-day package it's when I have a dozen hatching eggs 'in-transit' with 7 more local eggs already waiting here for their arrival.
The local eggs were all laid Tuesday/Wednesday, kept at ~70 degrees and rotated several times a day. The shipped eggs were sent out on Wednesday, expected to be here Friday so that I could get them all going in the incubator today (Saturday). Now my shipped eggs won't be here until Monday at the earliest.
Should I just call the shipped eggs a loss? Is there any chance that they'll even still be viable? If I wait until Monday, get them in the incubator on Tuesday, they will all have been sitting for at least a week. What would you do in this situation? The incubator has been on and stable since Thursday so I could put my 7 local eggs in now, but can't really add other eggs later when the shipped eggs do show up.
What would you do?
