Total newbie with incubating. I have a feeling I will be addicted in no time... I have a Brinsea Octagon 20 I picked up on Craigslist for a good deal last summer and haven't used it yet. Now my Ameraucanas are laying and I can't wait any longer to incubate some eggs!
I wanted to set them this coming Friday morning (5/19) but we have an unexpected complication.... We are set to leave for a short notice camping trip Friday evening to Sunday evening. I already collected eggs and I will have my 2 dozen for the 'bator later today. My first question is, will they be okay to Not rotate them for the time I will be gone? We would leave Friday evening and we'd be back Sunday evening. There is someone that could rotate them but I'd rather not ask them. Setting them Friday morning will have the hatch day for my weekend (I have Fri-Sun off) and I can get them all set up during the weekend so I won't stress about them as bad while I'm at work.
That's the plan! What am I risking by not rotating them for a couple days?
