This is my first time hatching chicken eggs so please give me some advice. I have 41 eggs in my LG still-air bator with a turning rack. The eggs came from our purebred chickens and will be mixes. At different stages I've candled the majority of the eggs and so far every one of them has a chick that I can see moving!
I've read other posts about using the egg carton method but I don't think that 5 cartons will fit. Also read about others moving their eggs to a "hatcher". With so many, should I do this? Or just remove the rack when it's time and go for it?
If you suggest a hatcher, please tell me how to make one and what I'll need.
Also, at what day do you generally see the eggs moving?
Thanks for your help!
