This might be a stupid question...

Is it okay to add eggs to the bator? I already have BO eggs in, but I should have some other eggs coming soon too...Can I put them in the same bator?

 

[johnnyjack]

yep just mark them and set them in a egg crate if ya turn by hand

 

[cherndon712]

LOL...I do turn by hand, so I must be crazy, but I want a full incubator!! A lady came and bought my NH and red sex links today, so I feel like i have an empty coop! I only have 12 left

i turn by hand also and had three different stages of hatches last time i run my bator. i just marked with a date and kept them in the crate until day 18 that way i knew when it was time to set them out.

 

[cherndon712]

What do you mean by set them out?

 

[johnnyjack]

set them out of the crate to hatch so they can roll and bump around inside the bator lol after day 18

 

[cherndon712]

i just have mine on the wire, should i put them in a crate?

 

[johnnyjack]

i would leve the ones ya already have in the bator out on the wire. but if ya have room it would be better to put any hatching at a later date on a crate. so when ur first ones hatch they want knock ur later hatching eggs around. because ur still turning them until day 18.

Ok, that makes sense! Thank you johnnyjack!
