    Faulty Incubator

    So about two years ago, I had naively purchased one of those Chinese no-name incubators- a stacked one that holds 112 eggs.

    I Counted Wrong...

    I have a quick question. I took the egg turner out of the incubator a day too early because I was counting my days wrong. Will the chicks still be okay? I hear peeping due to hatch day being tomorrow, not today.
