Incubation - add additional eggs - ????

[mommastump]

Can I add additional eggs to the incubator AFTER the process has started with previous/other eggs?
Thank you !

I usually will add more up till 2 days later, after that it would be staggered where you have different hatch dates. Good Luck

But I can add different eggs anytime?

You can but you will then have to mark them and keep track of them and deal with staggered hatch dates. If this is your first time and unless you have a second incubator to use as a hatcher I would advise against it.

You can add eggs anytime, but you've got to remember that you need to increase the humidity for ONLY the last three days of incubation and stop turning for those three days. Unless you have a second incubator that you can move the eggs to for hatching, the newer eggs won't be turned enough and may drown from excess humidity.

Thank you for your advice, I guess I better just be patient and do one set of eggs at a time!
