Title: Another fertile egg question
Post by: Ryan1990 on January 14, 2013, 01:36:20 pm

Hi all

I have some fertile eggs that have been sitting in the local royal mail office all weekend.  I just picked them up and the journey home was only 5 mins.  The eggs have been sitting with the small end downwards.  Do i still need to leave them sitting like that for another 24 hours even though the journey home with them was only 5 mins?

Thanks

I would leave them overnight before setting them.

I agree with Hughesy. Only have to shake them once and they need 24 hours to settle.
