Make sure to place it in a box or storage just enough to hold the eggs together - little to no extra space for little movements.

Longer if the eggs are cold. I check for sweat and any moisture. I than check air cells and set the eggs that are attached in the incubator.(I have an egg turner). I do not turn on my egg turner until end of day one, or the following morning. I check my eggs not in the incubator every few hours and by day two if any are not attached I do place them in. The hatch will be 24 hours apart, but, sometimes that happens anyway. I mark any egg that have not attached, and check those in 24 hours. I only check my eggs at day 10 and day 18 (or first pip). I take them out of the turner after first pip. Raise my humidity and practice closed lid hands off, nose pressed to the windows excitement.<br /><br />Vicki(delisha)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934326041423690709.post-8043243862064334232013-03-13T11:25:25.868-04:002013-03-13T11:25:25.868-04:00Karen - thank you for sharing your great advice on...Karen - thank you for sharing your great advice on the follow-up steps! <br /><br />(Folks should know that when I have really important eggs to hatch, they go to Karen since she has much more experience with incubators than I do.) I'm getting better, but I'm really thankful to have someone so knowledgeable in this area to help me out when I need her!

As for handling shipped eggs, ...Great video Leigh.<br /><br />As for handling shipped eggs, tips will vary between breeders. But here's what works for me... <br /><br />I unpack the eggs, putting them into an egg crate and let them sit for an hour or so. Just long enough for them to get to room temperature. Then I set them in the egg racks of the auto-turner, but don't plug it in for three days. <br /><br />The key here, is that shipping invariably damages the air cells to some degree or another, so sitting upright for a few days seems to help some 'heal' a bit.<br /><br />At the same time, you can't always know the exact age of the eggs you've recieved. So I incubate them immediately, but don't plug in the turner for a few days.<br /><br />I've found that even with damaged air cells, once the chick starts forming blood vessels, these seem to help the air cell stabilize as well. So, really, I don't see any benefit of letting them sit on a shelf.<br /><br />Hope this helps. 8)<br />Karen - KI4gothttp://www.kmvfarm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934326041423690709.post-24851784561045138472013-03-12T22:49:41.574-04:002013-03-12T22:49:41.574-04:00how about tips for how to handle the eggs from the...how about tips for how to handle the eggs from the buyer's end? would appreciate your tips.
