Eggs into the incubator

I have eggs on order. They should arrive in a day or so.

I do have a question though - should I put them straight into a warm incubator or let them warm up gradually?

Cheers
Zoe

Let them rest for 24 hours or so at room temperature, especially if they're coming through the post.

Good Luck
Deb
