I have 15 eggs set in the MacGyverbator due April 1st. 2 eggs set 2/28 that might make it to lockdown - would hatch 3/20ish. I will finish the new incubator this week and hope to get enough eggs to test it Friday. My chickens haven't been fertile though. I'll crack some eggs this week to see if they've been getting busy.

Question 1: wiggly or rolling air cells: what is the likelihood of them hatching?
Question 2: staggered hatch: if hatch days are 12 days apart can I use one incubator if I absolutely have to?
Question 3: I marked air cells and weighed the eggs after 24 hours of incubation. They were all pretty bad - most partly or completely rolling. When should I start tipping/turning? May I wait until Day 3?
