I've got roughly 15 eggs left that are in my incubator and were supposed to hatch 6/19 ... 2 of the eggs hatched early on the 17th...
How much longer should I give the eggs before removing them to clean my incubator to try again?
okie dokie, since the excitement has died down... here's how the night went
the one that hatched out in the picture made it, there was another that had externally piped while I was sleeping, but it was dead when I woke up, appeared to be shrink wrapped....
this morning another early bird made...
my first batch of chicks is hatching 2 days early right now... quick question... should I keep them in the incubator until the finish breaking free or move them out of the incubator?? my incubator has an auto-turner, I just dont want anyone getting hurt

lol nope... it's for putting all my animal supplies/feed/ grinder in... chickens currently have almost 700 sq ft of real-estate and the plan is to build them a new coop this summer
Well... it took a little longer than I wanted due to weather, equipment, and doing it almost completely by myself....
But it is finished and buttoned up... just needs paint and trim...
It is 8ft by 8 ft and 12 ft tall

5/10/20 - I left a couple marble eggs in a couple of the nesting...
so a buddy of mine traded me 3 chickens for 3 chickens... I traded a road island red hen, a light brahma hen and a Black Australorp hen for the 3 in the pictures... not sure what I got, because he didnt know. I just know they were types i didnt have yet...
well I was doing my morning chores and logged into my spreadsheet and noticed that I have 1 lone duck egg from 4/20/20 that I put in the incubator that should (everything goes as planned) hatch this weekend... everything still looks good as far as I can tell... I even see some movement when...
