OK to follow vertical incu with horiz hatcher??

[HooDoo Hatchery]

So far, I've not seen a post on this . .
I have several vertical tray rocking incus, and I move the eggs to a horizontal hatcher. I'm wondering if the biddie has been prepping for vertical pipping by now? To complicate things, my birds start hatching the day after I place them in the hatcher - that is, some start coming out on day #19!
Should I lay them down a day earlier??
I typically set eggs in incus on Fridays & lay them onto hatcher on Tuesdays. They start popping on Weds!! Please check my math while you ponder my question!!
Thanks!

I would definitely change your days as to me, that's running a risk of moving them while one or more could be pipping. Lockdown is advised to be three days prior to hatch day. I do it four days as too have had a few start hatching on Day 19.

As far as using vertical and switching to laying horizontal, I've done that many times. I incubate them in the Brinsea, then move them to the NR360 four days prior to hatch (provided that NR360 has room.)

Great info, and appreciated!
I'll lockdown on Mondays instead of Tuesdays.
My equip is similar to yours.
