Incubators Anonymous

Welcome New Addicts!

Follow my lead and you will be cured!

I have eggs just sitting on a shelf in the basement not 10 feet from the incubators. I have 2 hatchers completely empty! I have empty spaces in both incubators.

My problem is more logistics than anything else. I need to find open dates for hatching when I will have brooder space, I keep making new pens and things keep filling up!

I think I have a bad week coming. It appears I have more eggs hatching than I have hatcher space. I do not want to hatch in my shiny clean incubators. What can I do?

I have not candled them so maybe 40-50 won't hatch and I will have room. (fingers crossed for lots of duds)..

If the test from the lab does not come back soon and good, it will not matter, I will be digging a hole....And That I do not want to do.

I'm hoping my brooder is running for a reason fingers toes and eyes crossed.

A question for those with experience 2 eggs with pips but 1st one has a lot of shell broke but is still white membrane intact should I be worried?

Fingers crossed for terrible hatch rates.

How far back to I have to read to find out about the lab tests you're waiting on???
