Hi Everyone! I have a question. Eggs are on lockdown and I've taken out the turner. I have a broody silkie on about Day 17ish who is getting disturbed by other hens and one of the eggs was cracked (but is still viable). Can I stick all 10 eggs (5 cochin - from under the silkie - and 5 Ameraucana) in the incubator on lockdown together - given that the Brinsea Mini II Eco is the same size and is rated for 10 eggs? My main concern is oxygen flow - but it's a forced air incubator so hopefully this won't be a problem.
 
Update - I fit nine of the eggs in the incubator well. The last one is under the silkie with a few newly laid eggs as it just wouldn't fit without everything looking wayyyy too snug. Compromise. I took the damaged egg in as I don't want it to get anymore cracked. It's definitely still viable though :)
