    HI, we are getting ready to incubate 48 eggs in two identical incubators (Little Giant 10300 Air Circulator), and after leaving them up and running for 24 hours (empty), we are noticing discrepancies in temperature readings. Comparing the reading on the incubators to our digital kitchen...

    Delayed hatching question!

    We forgot to plug up the turners on our incubators until 56 hours after we put the eggs in. Will this just delay hatching or do we start over?
