what kind of bator?

Another thing, how many days of eggs can I collect to hatch out before it becomes too many days apart.

Temp and humidity are perfect. If you want to collect alot of eggs to hatch out then it is best to store them and put them in at one time.
Put them in an egg carton for storage, big end up and then place at an angle. fourty five degrees I think. 3 times a day change the position so it angles from the other side. You are supposed to do this an odd number so the eggs don't sit on one side too many nights in a row.
Check out the sticky link on hatching at the top of the forum. Good info.

Great thank you so much! One more question, when putting them in the bator, they go in little end down right?

 

[Germaine_11.20]

yes and I like to mark the end with a pencil and write "up" that way after I candle them I know with out effort which way to put the egg back. Sometimes the ends look the same.
