Hi,
We set eggs on Tuesday and tonight candled them. Out of 38 we have 13 that were fertile, 5 we are unsure of and 20 that were not fertile. We were hoping to have a better fertility rate but I think I started collecting eggs too soon after the borrowed rooster arrived. I want to know if I can add more eggs to the incubator now understanding that the eggs will hatch 6 days apart. In the chat room one person suggested to set them in the incubator and at day 18 move them to a hatcher with higher humidity. I am planning on doing thid unless someone has a different opinion. Please share with me what would be best.......thanks.
