Cheering for you chickinthebator!

I woke to 3 more and more peeping in the eggs.
I'm hopeful of at least a 50% good hatch!
8 so far bless em.

Hi all, a posted a thread about this but nobody is responding so good hope you don't mind me asking here.

I have some Araucana in the incubator on day 18 and some minorca on day 14. I don't have another incubator to hatch in. What should I do? How early is too early to stop turning?

Hello and good luck. According to the "Storey's Guide To Raising Chickens" you don't need to turn after day 14 but have never tried it. Soonest I stopped was at 17 with last hatch. Can you make a hatching incubator? That's what I did so I can run staggered hatches.
