Ha! Yes, that would be the common sense route. I just get paranoid about opening the door and like to have everything planned out ahead of time before "going in"
I'm going to be staggered hatching for the first time in my 1502.
I've never paid attention while the door was open to how much clearance there would be for the eggs/chicks in the hatching box while the egg turner is fully tilted.
So, my question is whether or not I can leave the egg turner...
