Add "MORE" Eggs To Incubator?

When you put some Eggs in the Incubator, can you "ADD MORE" to Incubator before those hatch? Or do you have to wait 28+ days? Thanks, Julie

I do it all the time. My last hatch was last Friday/ Saturday, I have 5 hatched today so far- ( 4 more to go ) and more due in 1 week, 2 weeks and 24 days. In the past I used a second incubator for hatching in - but recently I have just been using the one incubator and everything is going fine. A few days at higher Humidity doesnt seem to be having much effect on the other egg each time. The only problem you have is turning eggs during lockdown. I have an auto roll turner- so I can leave the eggs on the top shelf to be rolled every 4 hours- and the eggs down the bottom can stay in the hatching tray undisturbed.

*What is Lock Down? I finally put the Eggs in the Incubator(1:30 am/a couple hrs. ago) *When do I start turning them? Instructions say, "Do Not Open Incubator the first day after the eggs are set". *Do I Need to Mist the eggs with water? Thanks, Julie
