I have made a second incubator to use as my hatcher. I will remove my eggs from their original bator on day 18 and set them in the hatcher.

Treat them all like there on the same day , the closer to hatch day. 2 days of not turning wont kill them but temp and huimdity issues might . Good luck

i saw on another thread that someone used to take a couple of chop sticks and put them through the holes in the top of the bator so they would not disturb the temp and humidity much while turning them.

i think that using a couple of pencils with the eraser side on the eggs would work well enough too. i have yet to try this myself but i will be in the same situation in about 2 more weeks.

Hello,

I got a spare incubator but the highest it will go is 96.8 F is that alright or should i do another thing?

Thnx

Ya'll are braver than me. I would never attempt a staggered hatch without a hatcher.

OK kid, you have just learned something... In the future you space your hatches farther apart, right?? good..

do not turn the eggs, for 2 days, it won't hurt them as much as losing your hum% and heat.. just treat all the eggs equal from here on out..

good luck
