Your eggs have arrived and your incubator has been ready for a day do you put the eggs in straight away? NO when your eggs arrive please DO NOT put them in the incubator straight away this will lead to a dreadful hatching. When your fertile eggs arrive open them so they can breath and leave them to settle for 12-24 hours. They should be left at room temp about 10-18 degrees. NOT in the fridge on a radiator or in direct sunlight. After 12-24 hours place in the incubator and you have done your best to store your posted hatching eggs. Happy hatching
