INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[daxigait]

Has anyone ever hatched a group of eggs with diffrent due dates in the same incubator? This is my first time incubating and I had a few quitters in the beggining and added some more to take thier place (didn't think about it) now I'm going into lockdown on my first egg. And having to raise the humidity for 3 days. The other eggs are set to go into lockdown on its hatch day because they are 3 days younger, and then I have 2 that are due 2 days after them. Everyone has developed perfectly up until this point and I'm afraid that raising the humidity and not turning those eggs for 7- 9 days will cull the last hatch. Do I risk it and open the hatch twice a day to turn the other eggs?

You might check the notes on page one. I know some have, but I am too inexperienced. I will tag a few.

not i, but people stagger hatches quite often but usually have a separate bator for hatching
it would be tough with only one, sorry i can't be more helpful

In my opinion you have created a problem that you can't solve with one bator. You need anoter one that serves as a hatcher for lockdown. If you raise the humidity now you will jeopardizing your younger eggs.

No clutch for me. DH let Baby Beaux goat out of the pen, just to see if he'd browse and stay close to the rest of the flock. He did, and he also went straight to where feed is stored and stomped my eggs. So I'll save this project for later. It would work better in the spring to just separate her for a few weeks, then give her to the hona roo to breed, then collect a clutch. So the project is postponed!

Yes it is a good idea to abandon this project, I think that stumped eggs will be quite a challenge to hatch. ..........

Has anyone here actually done that? Are you referring to the one from the chinese lab that was popular on fb for a bit? Where they put the yolk/white in a glass and covered with plastic wrap?
