I'm hatching 12 eggs in my classroom where I teach elementary gifted students. I have a still air incubator at the suggestion of other egg hatchers I know, but after much of my own research I now see that I need a fan to get a good hatch rate. My eggs have been in the incubator since yesterday afternoon. I've bought a fan to install, but is it ok to do that now?

Welcome!

Sorry that I have no experience with incubators, just hatches under a broody hen.

However, you might want to join one of the ongoing Hatch-A-Longs. Just pop ‘hatch a long’ into the search option and you will see some active threads.

Alternatively, you could post any questions on the Incubating & Hatching Eggs Forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/5/incubating-hatching-eggs

Good luck with the hatch!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

Teila has given you some good places to find the answers (I don't have incubating experience either).

Good luck to you!
