Hatching incubator help please

[Kiki]

Thank you I am a little anxious

Do what feels right to you.

Don't stress about following rules. I've broken everyone. I may just be lucky but I don't think so.
Just be quick and careful.
I don't think two days of not turning will break the hatch. I don't think that opening it quickly to turn the eggs will ruin it either. If the humidity drops for 30 seconds it won't be the end of the world either.
If you can keep the new bator stable then use it. Just pull them out as soon as they hatch and put them in the warm, not too hot, brooder.

The holders do come out...but leaves direct contact to little heater and oddly shaped wells. It is frustrating. If they weren't all at such different dates I would leave them in my original homemade styrofoam incubator that has gotten them this far but if I did that when it's on lockdown time I would not be able to turn the eggs that are at the latter dates

What about a plastic Tupperware type dish to set on top of the egg rack thing. You could macgyver it with a hole bunch of small holes so the air moves through it.
Or what about cutting a piece of hardware cloth to fit over everything and put the eggs on top of that.

When is the first egg due. In two days right?

How is that one egg looking today? Still seeing movement? Air cell looking ok?

I have never hatched. I have 2 I got on aug 7 & 9. 3 on 17th. 1 on 20. 1 on 23 & a couple more but don't want to open again till turn time.

. Remind me please.
These eggs were collected from the ducks on these days and you put them all into the bator on the same day....or these are the days that you put each egg in the bator?

I just saw this! Lock down is on. 96f & 74h. I'm rethinking and working another styrofoam incubator to put the rest of my eggs in. I'm a bit nervous on new one..idk why. I can get the temp 100.2f & 94h in one of them. It would be a bigger area for them

I used a styrofoam incubator. it works quite well. the sale price was 42$. maybe that will work for you?
