Good Morning....=)

It is still dark here.6:45............Went to check the humidity in the incubators and heard the most
wonderful sound before I got the lights on...........CHEEP CHEEP..........I am certain they were telling me.
"Here we come"...=)
Have three nice sized pips so far...............An amazing sound after the rough start they had in shipping.

TheH klan of 10 :

Wish I could help about your question..will leave it for someone who may have done this.
I have two incubators and use one for a hatcher.I put new eggs in the incubator every 7 days so I always have the hatcher
available for lockdown.............I am using my own eggs so never sure how many I will have to set in a week.
My hens are not laying well yet........except the little Seramas...They are laying machines.

Well for sure be checking in later........=)

You are probably better off getting/making another bator to use as a hatcher. Even though the newer ones will be just set exposing them to the high humidity during lockdown may cause problems down the line. The eggs may not be able to lose enough moisture during the rest of the incubation and you risk drowning them.
