We have been looking into incubating eggs and reading up on it. We bought 2 incubators (Nuture Right 360 and Brinsea Maxi 24 Advance). The second one is a backup in case something happens to the other and also avoiding the cheap ones. We also got a candler and a hydrometer too as it is recommended here. Also found the pinned topics about incubating which are great. Our plan is to do first a try run with fertilized eggs from our mixed flock.
We still have couple questions:
You should set several eggs for incubation. Can you collect the eggs for incubation over several days? Do they have to go in the incubator the day they were collected? The eggs sitting out at room temperature.
We read the manuals and each has different recommendations for room temperature. The one manual recommends to keep the room temperature above 70F. Our thermostat is set to 68F. Has anyone experienced problems with lower room temperature?
Where do you have your incubators? We are thinking to use our utility room since it is generally dark and has no vibration.
Any other advice for us?
