Of course, a separate hatcher would make staggered hatches MUCH easier.
It does, but ironically my hatcher was holding temp so well that I'm actually using it as an incubator now that the season is winding down, it's deep enough that I keep the 'incubating' eggs on the lower level and suspend a plastic bus pan as a second layer for hatching... It's been working out quit well at least for small hatches... Over the winter I will be building myself a completely 100% automated incubator, I don't mind hand rotating and monitoring the humidity all that much but there are certainly some times where I wish I could just ignore it and know a computer (microchip) is doing all the work for me...
