Effects of temps in the 80s on hatching eggs?

[Airyaman]

So I'm done with trying to do shipped eggs. Overall, my hatching rate has been ~23% on USPS shipped eggs. Almost every single delivery has been delayed beyond the 2-3 days "estimated" by USPS for "priority mail". That said, a recent seller is sending out a new batch of eggs, free of charge, because some of the eggs were Jersey Giants and not Bielefelders. And of course, the shipment is in USPS limbo, should have arrived Monday and still "in transit to the next facility, arriving late".

That said, daily temps for the last few days has been in the low 80s, Today, it will be almost 90. No idea if the eggs are at some distribution center or on a truck or who knows where. Neither the trucks nor the distribution centers are climate controlled.

Since these are already potentially is elevated temps, should I still wait the standard 24 hours before incubating?

Don't have high hopes for this batch either...

The biggest reason to let sit for 24 hours is to allow the yolks to settle. You technically could just put them in the incubator if you wanted. Sometimes I put them in right away and just don’t turn them for the first day. I have had good hatch rates doing it both ways so at the end of the day it’s your preference.

Thanks. I've actually done that with all of the shipped eggs. I let them set for 24 hours of so, pointed end down, then in the incubator with no turning for the first 3 days. Maybe this time do the same minus 24 hours outside of the incubator.
