Help! Eggs 24 hours apart headed into lock down..

[RedneckRedhead]

My son is hatching eggs for his science fair project, first time hatching. He put 6 eggs in, then 12 more about 24-30 hours later. We are headed into lockdown tomorrow for the first batch. I do not have another incubator, so moving them is not an option. Can eggs go into lockdown a day early?

I (pretty much always) do the same thing. I can't help but pop a few extras in, but I try not put any in after more than a day tho.
I just lock them all down at the same time. The extra day doesn't seem to affect the later eggs. Good luck, happy hatching!

Thanks for asking that we did the same thing.

Also thanks for the answer.
