Moving eggs on day 19-20

[Arrowhead07]

Just got a hatching incubator stabalized finally. Will it hurt to move some eggs that are Day 19-20 into it?

Not sure.. I would think it would be hard to keep the humidity up while moving them from one to the other..

I am not as experienced as most of the folks and therefore am a little more daring. I would go for it! We candled our eggs up until hatch day and even during hatching for our ducks. I read somewhere, if I did that to spritz a bit of warm water directly onto the shell. This was only during the last critical days if we continued to candle. It would help replace the moisture that was lost while out of the bator. And for what it is worth, nature doesn't have such a controlled environment, so give or take a little either way would seem to be okay.
