I have had a pair of red foots from a rescue for about a year. They regularly mate but this is the first time I have had the female produce eggs. Ordered an incubator stat, but any advice to get us through the next 24-48 hours before we are officially set up?

Most breeders place eggs in trays half covered in moistened vermiculite. Write with pencil on eggs date laid. If she laid once, she probably will again in a month. This will also orient the top of the egg. They should not be turned. I mist eggs daily for humidity. Mine take an average of 120 days to hatch at 85 degrees.
