Repost: Staggered Hatching

[Elfie4306]

So a while ago I posted about staggered hatching and I didn't get any replies so I thought I'd try again.

So I bought 10 eggs from a local farm, put them in the incubator about a week ago and some are so much further along than others. I only see one that might not hatch, but with the variety between eggs I'm waiting to toss. Some look like they could hatch within the next week.

I need to know when to stop turning them. I put them all in at the same time, so I expected to know when to stop turning them, but with the variety of progress I have no clue. I can get pictures, it would just be easiest with another person to help and no ones here currently. But if they are necessary I'm sure I can figure it out.

If you put them all in the incubator at the same time they should all hatch at the same time, but maybe I'm misunderstanding your post.

I would assume the same, but some look fully formed, and others are just embryos.

I guess I would mark the ones further along and stop turning when they start peeping. I have handled and moved eggs around when they are about to hatch. They tend to want to roll back to the way the chicks need the eggs to be.

Ok, thank you!
