This is my first time trying to incubate eggs, so some of these questions might seem basic or silly. I have purchased the pro series digital circulated air incubator with automatic egg turner. I have been reading some of the other forums, and I saw that it is suggested that eggs can stop being turned on day 18...so does that mean to turn off the automatic egg turner? And just leave the eggs sitting in the automatic turner?
Another question, on this particular incubator, it seems the automatic egg turner has to be removed if the water resorvoir requires refilling. Is this correct? It seems this would be a major pain if your egg turner is filled with 41 eggs.
Another question, I'n not sure about is on day 21, when the eggs start hatching, how long do you wait to remove the chicks that have hatched? I read one thread where it took 40 hours for the eggs to all hatch. I guess I'm asking will the chicks that hatch easily be safe to leave in the incubator until the other eggs hatch? These are just a few of the questions that I did not draw a firm conclusion about.
Any tips or suggestions for this newbie would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
