Staggered hatching?

Date sort Score sort
We've had them hatch at 13 days post collection (they were kept in a wine cooler prior to being placed in incubator) and all hatched. Anyway you can incubate them seperately (sp?) or store them in a wine cooler until the first batch hatches? Good luck with them!
 
Oh wow, 13 days and they all still hatched? That's amazing! Do you think it will matter if i place my eggs under her one day apart? Like some today and some more under her tomorrow? That won't be a huge deal will it?

If you don't have an incubator then for sure I would wait and set all the eggs at once. A lot of broody hens won't keep sitting on eggs once they've hatched out a fair number of chicks. I wouldn't like to take the chance, especially without a backup bator on standby!
