Hello Everyone,
I've been hatching eggs with my first graders for about a decade. This year, due entirely to my own communication errors, I only have six eggs to incubate. I can get more over the weekend but then I'm facing six eggs started on 5-2 and a dozen started on 5-6 in the same incubator. This is my question....Is that a huge "no no" in the hatching world? Or, If I actually read up on and pay attention to other stuff in my incubator than the temp and the water level can I get a pretty good hatch with six. Some years I've gotten 2 out of 12 and other years I've had 10-12. I just don't want to scar children with no babies. I can picture it now, " Hello I'm 40 years old and a recovering addict because of a chicken experiment gone amuck when I was six..... So not good.
