I posted this on my 9/14 hatch along, but figured I would put it here instead. Can you stack eggs in the hatching rack. I ordered 48 Heritage RIR eggs from Lucky Pickens farm in AR. she sent 52, and I only needed 42. They were all fine, and I stacked the other 10 in between the ones in the holes of the turner. Will it work? Figured after 10 days, I would probably cull some, and then would still have a full rack hopefully! Thanks
well, to me it seems fine even though i haven't done this. i am more of a broody chook person. but its kinda the same under a hen soooo. i think its okay. i might be wrong.
If I had too many eggs for my incubator, you can bet I'd rather try that than just ditch potential chicks! Candle in a few days and remove any definite non-developpers.
I stack eggs all the time.. especially quail eggs.. then when i candle i remove any clears.. works out pretty well.. you just have to make sure they wont fall when the turner turns them..
I stacked on top of quail eggs this hatch. I had 3 trays and 420 eggs. I was 60 eggs over. I counted the unhatched eggs and there was 23 so it will work. I think most of the stacked eggs hatched.
