I just got my ducks eggs in the mail and haven't opened the box yet.
My question is I have to wait two days before I can get them to my incubator which is 4 hours away.
1. Should I open the box up and set them big end up and repack them for the trip home on thursday evening or leave them like they are now?
2. When I get them home do I let them sit big end up again for 24 hours? or can I just place them in the incubator and start the hatching?
How long can you hold duck eggs before they turn bad?
I would think the quicker I get them in the incubator the better the hatch rate would be.
What would be a good temp to store them at till I get home?
Thanks
