I have a question. I set my eggs in the incubator today. Is there a issue if I add one tommorow ad one on Monday? What are the dangers of adding eggs to the incubator after you set the eggs?
 
How many incubators do you have? If you only have 1 you don't want to keep adding eggs. You can add one tomorrow, that'll be ok. On day 18 you have to go on "lockdown" you can't open the bator or turn the eggs and the humidity gets raised. If you have 2 incubators, you can use 1 to incubate and 1 to hatch. Then you can add eggs anytime you want. That's how I ended up with 2

I would add another for sure, next time I would collect several to go in at the same time. People do staggard hatches but not one a day sort of thing.
 
Okay okay I know what you mean that makes more sense to do like maybe 7 or so but will the change in humidity on lock down interfear with the development of the newly added eggs?
 
If I put eggs in on Friday and on Sunday, I would split the difference and call Saturday day-1. That way you could put them all into lockdown together. One day early or late isn't going to hurt your hatch.
Next time just save the first eggs until you have all you want and set them all on the same day!
