So tomorrow is lock down and of COURSE I have hatching eggs due to arrive on day #22 of my current hatch. It was chicken math and an auction that I wanted eggs from--worst timing ever. My bad.
So. Do I just carefully and quickly pop open the lid and put them in there? Do I leave one egg turner in there while the others are still hatching? Does the higher humidity hurt the new eggs?
I don't want to delay putting the new ones in too long since they are being shipped and will probably (knowing my luck) take 3 days to arrive.
TIA for any suggestions!
 
I'm no expert, but I do know that some members prefer to let shipped eggs "rest" for a day before setting. That may give you some breathing space for your hatch.

Yes one day of rest will be do-able but there might still be eggs in there that I don't want to give up on yet LOL

Buy another bator, then you can keep one at lockdown settings, and the other at pre-lockdown settings
