How many days after getting eggs before they have to go into the banter? I am asking because my husband has informed me that he has plans for us about the time of the hatching, (I won't be around) and was wondering if I could wait a few days before putting them in the banter so that they will be hatching out a few days later, when I will be around. What do you think?
*bump* I believe you should be fine waiting a couple of days (from what I've read) but, hopefully someone who has experience will answer. Good luck with them!
I would say a lot depends on how old the eggs are when you get them. Are they being shipped or are they your own eggs?
I've waited up to a week before and they did just fine. Now any eggs I get I hold them until Sunday mornings before I put them in the bator so they will start to hatch on the weekend when I'm home to watch them.
