Is it ok that I added more eggs yo my incubator? They will be due to hatch 3 days apart. I couldn't resist.

nothing we can do but tell you to get another bator for locking and hatching!!!

I guess I could keep the turner in for just the younger eggs and hope there's a hatch on day 21(and no baby chicks hurt themselves on it) for the older set so I can take the younger eggs out of turner and put them in lockdown.

Or I could try to convince my hubby that we need another incubator...

Any suggestions?

Quote: Hatch day is around 52? If I remember correctly, so you are getting close!

LOL yes cookies we are on that!!

choc chips are in the house Mike!!

I'm 99% sure we do have hardware cloth. I'll talk to him tonight. The eggs are due to hatch on the 17th and 20th so we do have some time to figure this out.
Thanks for all the feedback!
