Rest in Peace 1970-2018
I am picking up 24 RIR/Barred Rock Cross eggs today from a local
breeder. In my Octagon 40 I have 7 silkie eggs on day 16. I have
an empty Little Giant 9200 w/fan and turner sitting next to it.
Do I
1-Start the eggs in the LG until the silkie hatch is done and then
transfer them to the Octagon 40?
2-Put the eggs in the Octagon 40 and hatch the silkies in the LG?
I'd rather hatch in the Octagon since it is so much more stable, has
a wet bulb thermo/hygro, and is plastic.
3-Put the new eggs in the Octagon, then move them into the LG
for a few days while the silkies hatch, then back into the Octagon?
4-Just let them sit on a 65 degree tile floor until next weekend when the
silkies are done?
I'm leaning towards #3 or #4.
