I'm about to buy a incubator kit off ebay (egg turner, fan, candle light - says just add eggs and water) Holds 42 eggs total. I have chickens already, so I can get fresh eggs. I've read you store the eggs pointy end down at 55-60* F for up to 7-10 days. I plan on setting it up and running it for a few days before I load it. I have read many posts about low success rates (many total failures) for the first timers.
Since this will be my first time, should I load it up or start with a dozen or so? I have read up on running an incubator and feel confident I can pull it off. I just don't like the thought of 42 rotten eggs stinking up my house.
Thanks
