You can always double stack too until you candle on day 7. Once you pull blanks you'd have plenty of room to move eggs around.

Shipped eggs are hit and miss. Sometimes I've had amazing results...others a total bust. Atlanta is roughest on eggs. If my eggs coming from the east coast go through that sorting facility my results are usually terrible. Supposed to be the largest sorting facility in the us... Sometimes you...

Yes. Brinsea Octagon with a bad heating element. When I got up in the morning of day 21-22 it was HOT to the touch. Sent the incubator in immediately. :/

If I want to start a few eggs at the end of another set of eggs before lockdown, I just set the eggs to one side with the little separator bars that came with the incubator and maybe lay a paper towel over them. I always leave my vent open anyway when not in lockdown so the eggs loose the excess...

I had one incubator cook eggs in lockdown TWICE. They were awesome with handling shipping and eventually just switched out the heating element. Luckily they were my eggs and not shipped eggs.

They should be fine. Just keep your vents open once you pull the chicks to help with the extra moisture in the egg. I've done staggered hatches with no effect. :)

WVduckchick- when the tape is on and I leave a little crack at the bottom of the lid all the moisture collects there. It's crazy. I don't know about your humidity level where you live but we don't hit above 1% unless it's raining. Lol I also don't have to worry about adding any water to the...

RubyNala- Try taping the edges of your incubator lid. I have 3 Brinseas and I have paper towels under the tray covering the bottom during lockdown and I tape the lid edges with painters tape to help hold humidity. I live in the desert so everything dries crazy fast. I also do it so my kids don't...

Make sure you calibrate! Thermometer and hygrometer. I didn't before my first hatch which didn't effect anything until hatch time, which ended up being way too dry. Also, instructions say keep humidity between 40-50%....I let my humidity sit right around 40%. Good luck :)

I have no self-control!! I broke down and ordered a second incubator today. Whoops. :P :D

What humidity do you guys run from days 1-18? The manual says 40-50%, but my last hatch seemed super gooey. I live in nevada (desert), and have a wood stove, so it's extra dry in my house. Thank you!
