I'm new to the incubator thing. I have some eggs that have been in the incubator for about a week 1/2. Can I place new eggs in the incubator to hatch out later while the others are still in there?
The problem with that is if you have only one incubator, when the first eggs go into lock-down on day 18, you won't be able to turn the newer batch. Humidity also needs to be higher from day 18 on also.
I agree with Countrychix - however, I do hatch ducks and chickens in the same hatch and ducks take a week longer. I am not really sure if ducks have to be turned as much but I have a duck pipping tonight
the only way I have heard of people doing that is to mark the eggs, and then have a second incubator ready to go when you stop turning the other eggs, and they can go in the "hatching" incubator.
