EGGS ARE GATHERED TWICE A DAY, WASHED, COUNTED, AND STORED IN AN EGG COOLER. THEY ARE EITHER SET IN OUR OWN INCUBATORS OR PACKED IN FOAM FLATS AND BOXED FOR MONDAY SHIPMENTS.

UPON DELIVERY, THE EGGS SHOULD NOT BE PUT IN A COOLER.  EGGS SHOULD BE KEPT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SET THEM.

CHUKAR EGGS RETAIN FERTILITY AND HATCHABILITY FOR 1 MONTH FROM THE TIME THEY ARE LAID.   WE NEVER SHIP EGGS THAT ARE MORE THAN 1 WEEK OLD.  HOWEVER,  YOU SHOULD ORDER THEM AS CLOSE TO YOUR EXPECTED SET DATE AS POSSIBLE.

EGGS SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO THE HATCHER ON THE 21st DAY AND SHOULD HATCH ON DAY 23 OR 24.

THE BROODER TEMPERATURE FOR BABY CHICKS IS 90% FOR THE FIRST WEEK.  THIS CAN BE LOWERED 5% A WEEK, DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS IN YOUR AREA.
