Fertile eggs laid today ok to set in bator tonight?

[kaitlyn_rae2003]

The eggs have been sitting at room temp since 10 am, bator is holding steady, im so excited to get started!! Do they need to set out a certain amount of time or is it ok to do it tonight?

Put them in. There fine.

I've taken an egg from the nest and put it directly in the bator. It's fine. Good luck!

Ok great!! Thank you! It is my first time, (obviously) ha ha, I cant wait!

I want to just say that if you're wanting to set more, I'd wait for several days and put them in, in one group rather than add eggs for several days. If you keep adding eggs you'll have a staggered hatch to deal with, which doesn't work as well unless you have a different hatcher to use.

Oh shoot! I just put them in and I am getting another dozen tomorrow morning. They will be about 18 hours apart. I do have an additional bator I can use as a hatcher i suppose. Should I put the first 15 i did today in the hatcher on day 18? for lockdown, or wait till day 21? yikes what have i done?

I wouldn't worry about an 18 hour spread, they'll be fine.

Agreed. I've done that, but don't stagger anymore or they'll be too far apart.
