Eggs into the incubator

I have eggs on order. They should arrive in a day or so.
I do have a question though - should I put them straight into a warm incubator or let them warm up gradually?
Cheers

Let them rest for 24 hours or so at room temperature, especially if they're coming through the post.
Good Luck
