Hello I have set 14 eggs about 12-13 days ago and everything is doing good one got caught in the egg turner and cracked so I threw it out I just set it that day so nothing started to form yet one has a tiny little crack in it and is still doing good and one was infertile so I am now left with 12 eggs and they are all forming so far and I am hoping for some chicks I have the humidity set at 35 percent and I have a staggered hatch so how do I set the humidity for the ones to hatch and the ones that are earlier in the incubation process so should I just set it in the middle between the two humidity levels needed for the two different stages or what thanks for the help
 
The easiest way to handle staggered hatches is with 2 incubators. You can up the humidity in one for the eggs about to hatch while keeping the proper humidity for the ones still incubating. I know they are not popular at all, but Id get a Little Giant or a base model Hovabator and make a hatcher out of it.
 
Well I have one incubator only and by the time I order another one they could be hatching or needing to be stopped turned this Isn't my first hatch just my first staggered hatch I just don't want to drown the ones still forming while the others are hatching
