the past few hatching I have collected eggs, put them in the incubator, turned it on.... then just add more eggs everyday until it is full.... (instead of collecting all the eggs I am going to hatch then starting them all at one time..) It makes for a few more days of hatching... I get several chicks over a 5 day period here and there until they are all dont hatching... they dont all hatch at one time... or one day..
Anyone else do this? Or should I not do it this way? I havent really been able to calculate my % hatch rate because last time the electricity went out... so I am trying it again...
I was just wondering if it would tend to make the hatch rate go down because eggs go on a lock down a few days sooner due to the ones that are about to hatch...
Or do yall think I should just fill the incubator and start them all at one time?
