Can I put second batch of eggs a couple of days after first incubater

[sue3]

I have sent for eggs to hatch and may be getting two batches a couple of days apart. Would it be safe enough to put the second batch in with the first to incubate together 2 or 3 days later. First eggs will be bantys and second full sized breed if that makes any difference.

Do you have an extra incubator to use as a hatcher? I have different batches of eggs in the same incubator all the time, but I move them out to a hatcher so they can all still have the correct humidities. If they're only a day or so apart, you may be able to get by with doing it.

No I don't have a second incubator.

I wouldn't worry a bit about it. The few extra days at the higher humidity will likely make no difference.

If it was more of a week or so I'd worry about humidity but like the others say a day or so apart you shouldn't have a problem... I had just asked this very question myself as I was getting two set of eggs a day apart and was told just to stop turning a day early.....I need another bator, just running two full steam is not enough!! lol
