Advise about hatching dates?

I had 6 eggs in bator, but only one was fertile.. Luckily I had more on order. But now one of the eggs is 4 days ahead.. I dont really want to get another incubator for one egg.

I'm thinking about lockdown. Would the oner egg still hatch if I opened the incubator and turned the others, or could the others still hatch with higher humidity and no turning? Or should I delay lockdown a day and compromise?

I guess if it's the only way ill have to buy another incubator..

this may sound harsh but personaly I would let the lone egg take its chances at hatching than risk the hatch of the new eggs. 1 fuzzbutt versus 6 fuzzbutts. you could lockdown on day 18 of second hatch giving lone egg 1 day at higher humidity. Sorry I cant help any more than that. Good luck will keep my fingers crossed for ya

if you have hens ,
sneak the one lone egg into
the nest. and let her sit.
and see what happens .
