A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Keeping your new eggs three or four days longer before putting them in the incubator is going to make little or no difference to their hatchability.

I agree with Bodger.
Fertile hens eggs will stay viable for two weeks so assuming they are a week old when you received them a few days more wont matter.

An incubator is humid, a brooder is dry, so short answer, no! Wink
