Okay, I have to move my incubator. 
I’m on day 23. I have not cooled or misted today.
I’m thinking keep them one more day where they are and move them on day 24? I’ll put a towel in a box, remove the turning trays and place them in the box. Then move the incubator and the eggs to another room. (We have to move into the hatching room ... which is actually a little apartment, with five dogs and a toddler while the kitchen is repainted.)
I’m thinking of moving them during a normal cooldown period so the next day I don’t have to take the time before lockdown when I’ll want to candle all my eggs and mark cells.
But also should I just do it all once with lockdown peeps so they aren’t jostled two days in a row?
What do you think?

All I can add is to clear the way of everything, lock up kids and dogs before you make your way carrying your precious cargo! I place ours in egg cartons for transport. I was out at 10 pm last night carrying our eggs from the incubator to the broody hens. My headlamp was dim, I could barely see the uneven ground as I traipsed in the dark for hundreds of feet, and I kept muttering under my breath, “Don’t trip, don’t drop the eggs, don’t trip...”
To add to our June ‘hatch’ I come home to these 4 beauts
