    They are plenty old enough to put on the pellets. I always start my pullets on laying pellets around 16 weeks.

    Can I move incubating eggs?

    I'm not going to say the eggs will ruin but being out of the bator for 2 or more hours along with transporting them will seriously reduce the chances of a successful hatch. I would be inclined to give fertile eggs rather than eggs that have already started the incubation process.
