I am glad you posted this. I have some incubating now, on day 12 in a forced fan incubator, I purchased some eggs online and have them started in the forced fan incubator also but today is the first day for them. I was going to take the newer eggs and transfer them to the incubator I have with no forced air but after reading your post I think I will wait and transfer the older ones in when it's time to stop turning them. Thanks for the idea!I have BOTH - still and fan forced. I used the fan forced to incubate the eggs with the egg turner. 3 days before the hatch - I transfer them to the still air and raise the humidity with just the wire rack. I found that the still air didn't dry the chicks as fast as the fan unit. I'm going to try reversing the process after reading these posts. I'll let you know what happens. The original reason for have two units - is in case I want to add eggs on a different day to the unit actually incubating them, so I don't have to disturb them when transferring on the last few days for the actual hatch. Hope that makes sense! Anyone have any thoughts?
