anyone can do most things if they put their mind to it, you know that.

2 days until lockdown!
@kjscortez you run with humidity that high? how do your air cells look?
Humidity is NOT a set number, It is a tool to get the correct weight loss in the egg! post #7068

Good night Chaos18 and Motorcyclechick. I am heading to bed after I go to EBAY to order new tags for my goat collars. I put there name with my address and phone. I usually use the ones that go on with rivets. I'm going to check the personalized dog tags too that hang this time. I will likely stay with the norm since they only cost a couple of dollars.

Got a link? @daxigait

We don't get enough rain water, but we are one of the most advanced nation when it came do desalination of see waters!
We have all the water we need and much surpluses, that we sell to our Neighbors. What nature dont give, we compensate by technology. ( we basically can use all the Mediterranean and the Atlantic as sweet water source!

Things were going well til they brought reinforcements. :rant I tried to catch a hona pullet that was out, but she went crazy and knocked my phone into wet poop. When I picked it up I saw the ant army has moved to the front of the goat coop. I gave up and went home.
 
ugh I am reading your email at the same time, sorry. If it has internal let them go, the broody will do her job. Not much you can do but let her do what she is made to do.

Setting hens haven't needed assistance in the last million years, I see no reason they should need our help now.

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. 3 eggs are set to go into lockdown on its hatch day because they are 3 days younger, and then I have 4 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? Run the humidity a tad lower? Or will it be fine to just let them be?
It isn't ideal or recommended for first timers.
I have and do stagger settings in the same incubator.
There are some important things to consider. Humidity is important in 2 ways. First of all, to insure the proper weight loss during the first 18 days. Most important is sufficient humidity to prevent the inner membrane from drying out once pipping is imminent.
Turning is most important during the first 2 weeks. After that, it is still important but less critical.
I don't do lockdown per se. As long as none are pipping, I'll continue to turn the eggs not due to hatch yet. I'll fill the water reservoirs around day 18 as long as weight loss has been correct. That way, humidity will rise again after closing up.
In your case, the tough part will be those due 2 days apart. I try to have at least 4 days between settings in case of a protracted hatch.
