Dividing hatching chicks in incubator

[yotetrapper]

This hasn't come up yet, but as more and more eggs go into my cabinet, I'm sure it will be soon. I'm hatching a lot of blue orpingtons, and lavender orpingtons. Both of these, have black chicks. Black orpington chicks. I need to know which ones are split black / lav.

I've seen mention of people on here dividing the incubator to keep 2 breeds seperate, but couldnt find no info on it now. How do you divide a tabletop incubator (my hatchers are hovabators) to keep chicks in it seperate?

Use two bators. Now you have a valid excuse to buy another one.

I have 3, lol. 6. if you count the cabinets. The problem is places to set them all up at, LOL

I use a strip of hardware cloth down the middle, cut to size, and zip tied to the bottom hardware cloth.
