2 shipments of eggs, when do I start them?

[coyoteugly]

I have ordered eggs to incubate. Both are due to ship this week, but 3 days apart. Do I wait and put them all in the incubator at the same time?

I'm doing the same thing except I'm also waiting on my second incubator. You should let them settle, You can just do a stagger hatch.

How do I stagger hatch with lockdown?

Lots use hatchers. I've done it before with only a couple day difference my cut off is 3-4 days. I think that stopping the others turning at that point shouldn't be a problem. They are fully developed by then and moving on their own.

That makes sense - stopping the turning a few days early for the later eggs, but is the change in humidity a problem?
