Happy 🦃 Holidays with a shipped egg hatcher, Thresh! **Hatching Eggs: Tips for a Successful Hatch** 🐣💛 Hatching eggs is an incredible experience, but it takes care and patience to ensure those little peeps arrive healthy and strong. Whether you’re a first-time hatcher or a seasoned pro, here’s a guide to help maximize your success—especially if you’re working with shipped eggs!🌡️ **Resting Shipped Eggs** Shipped eggs go on quite the journey and need time to “rest” before going into the incubator. When your eggs arrive: - Gently unpack and inspect for cracks. - Place them **pointy side down** in an egg carton or similar container. - Let them rest at **room temperature (65–75°F)** for **12–24 hours**. This resting period helps the air cell settle and improves hatch rates.🌡️ **Temperature & Humidity** - Keep the incubator at **99.5°F (37.5°C)** for chicken eggs. - Humidity should be around **50-55%** for the first 18 days and increased to **65-75%** during lockdown (the final 3 days before hatching). 💡 **When to Candle Eggs** Candling is exciting, but it should be done sparingly to avoid disrupting the incubation process: 1️⃣ **Day 7:** Check for signs of development. Look for veins and a growing embryo. 2️⃣ **Day 14:** Confirm development. The chick should take up more space inside the egg. 3️⃣ **Day 18 (optional):** Before lockdown, check one last time and avoid handling after this. Too much handling can cause temperature and humidity fluctuations, which can harm the developing embryos. Remember, less is more! 🚫 **Common Mistakes to Avoid** - **Over-candling:** Each time you open the incubator, you risk lowering the temperature and humidity, which can stress the embryos. - **Skipping the resting process:** For shipped eggs, skipping this step can lower hatch rates significantly. - **Unclean handling:** Always wash your hands before touching eggs to prevent contamination. - **Discarding too ear
