Holding back eggs?

[ehern]

Hey y'all! I'm in dire need of help! I recently purchased two clutches of eggs, and sadly one came in 2 days late. I want to be able to incubate the eggs together, but already started the process for one clutch. Would y'all think it's a good idea to take out the eggs I have in right now, and wait until I am able to put the other clutch in? Or should I wait until the first clutch is done? My only concern with the latter is after 7 days the fertile rate for eggs goes down tremendously please help!

If you started incubating already, stopping will generally kill the eggs.

So I do lockdown 5 days out. Now I have only hatched out 3 batches of the 7 my incubator holds. But I have had a %100 percent hatch rate with my personal eggs. I'd think you be ok to add the eggs and just start lockdown 2 days early for them.

Yeah, just add in all of the eggs and lockdown a bit early. It's totally fine, I do staggered hatches all the time.
