    Lockdown Saturday 5/19!

    I am in Lockdown on Saturday, anyone else in? I have 37 eggs going into lockdown. I also have 5 guinea hen eggs in the incubator at the same time. Should I take them out so they don't get the effects of the raised humidity?

    Need Help

    I am awaiting my first 6 fertilized eggs. I bought a cheap incubator just for starters. I'm nervous and don't want to kill any of my eggs. I know it's a reality, but what else can I do? Am I better off building an incubator myself? I need a quick fix if that is the case because the eggs are on...
