What am I supposed to do after I win eggs on ebay?

Hope you have beginners luck. Here is what is going against you.
1. it is late in the year and fertility may suck
2. you are getting shpped eggs---a man that works at the post office told me that he can't see ANY eggs arriving safe. The boxes go down Many coveyor belts and there is a 3 foot drop at the end of each conveyor belt. Thus most eggs are scrambled.
3. your incubator has to be [at this time of year, in a room where the temp is the same wether the furnace is running or not.

BUT REMEMBER I have found that beginners always have the best luck.


You will do well

Oh

now im worried

I bought 10 eggs on ebay (plus extras) and ended up with nine healthy chicks. However, part of the risk is that the reviews are usually given when the eggs arrive, not when they hatch. I'd suggest learning how to candle and keep an eye on them that way, and egg-topsy your lost eggs so you can see if they were unfertile or if they died in the incubator.

I have learned how to candle and it is pretty easy. I did it for my first hatch (i used my own eggs+ a friends). All i had to do was download the flashlight app on my phone and there was my candler
