my entire flock was slaughtered the other day from coons.... yes we are trying to remedy the coop, took em 2 years to find a way in, thought we were secure..... anyway, my wife is devastated... we had enough fertile eggs, so we threw them in the bator.... it's been a couple years since i hatched, i was letting the broodies do it.... my question is this... my bator is pretty full, with an egg turner in it... i was wondering do you take the eggs out of the turner and just lay them in the bator 3 days prior to hatch (lockdown).... it just doesn't seem that there's nowhere for the chicks to go with the egg turner in there..... thanks guys..
