Breeder Question, Egg ID!

[Jmurcks]

Well, I guess I am kind of fond of the little buggers

About dotting the hatching chicks... do they all go in the same incubator together?
When they hatch I am afraid I will get them mixed up!

Some people separate the eggs in the incubator by putting them in wire cages or use wire divisions so when the chicks hatch, they know which are which. Kind of depends on how your incubator is set up as to what you can do.

I bought one of the 1588s with the turner... could you still do that with the turner in there I wonder?

 

[Ridgerunner]

I don't know. I'm not familiar with that incubator. The turner is turned off for the last three days, so maybe you could do something just before lockdown?

 

[Jmurcks]

I didn't think about that!
That's right! I am sure I can come up with something, esp when it means more chicks
