Tomorrow is day 18 and I decided to keep this batch of 9 Speckled and 12 Silkies in the incubator for the whole time instead of moving them to the hatcher. I had a few weird things happen with the last batch so I will see if the incubator does a better job this time. I have so many hen setting, I did not really need to stagger the incubator eggs this time around.
I never move to a hatcher, but that's because I only have one incubator (other than the forced air which can rot for all I care...) Good luck and let us know! Oh Good Lord....I just realized that this post is 2 years old...ugh.
