Incubating mixed dated eggs. Help plz

[Roosterrob21]

Hey all, I got 30 leghorn eggs incubating in 1 incubater. Temp/humidity is perfect, has been for 13days. Only problem is 9 of them are on day 13, 11are on day 12, and 10 are on the 11th day. How should I go through with hatching them.? Should i stop turning them on different days.? Also do i leave the eggs In the turner to hatch after I unplug it or take it out and lay the eggs down on day 18? So confused, need guidance.

You should set all eggs on the same day to avoid a staggered hatch. I would remove the Turner and hand turn those that need it daily. I'm not familiar enough with hatching to give advice about the actual hatch. Hopefully someone else has some better advice.

It's okay to lock down them all on the day the older ones are ready...Just remove the Chicks as they get active into the Brooder so they are not knocking the others around.
Don't do staggered hatches..

I tried it a few times..was to crazy/ stressful . That being said..id follow " chickens really" advice and lock them down the day 1st ones are due to hatch.
