Help! My yellow foot laid eggs this morning... I don't have a incubator ready... I just ordered it of amazon... What should I do with the eggs until the incubator arrives on Tuesday? Thanks in advance!

Just place them in a closet until it arrives. I would mark and date them now, because you want to be very careful moving them when the incubator comes in. Congrats and happy hatching:)

Hi Ken:

Well, first of all, get them off that dry, pokey old hay stuff and put them either on potting soil or vermiculite (moistened). They will be fine at room temp until your incubator comes in. I would set the dish on top of the water heater, if this appliance is in a room that stays above 70f degrees. After the eggs have been sitting a while, you don't want to turn them at all.
