Too Early for Feb Hatch-A-Long Thread??

So I was watching this video for a completely different reason but right at 0:37 seconds it just happens to show a little Silkie with a perfectly placed little strip of med wrap as an example for you!

That is where I placed the brace as well for my little silkies. Just a little above the 5th toe. It worked very well for my little ones.

Well...I think I’m officially a hatching addict. I have another incuview and 3 dozen eggs plus extras on the way.

One out quick pip n zipped. Another on the way the same. Ended up helping zip no 1 it wouldnt have got out without me helping im sure. So nearly 3 down 4 to go.

That's awesome! Where are you getting the eggs from?

So, I have a question for you all: I have a Nurture Right 360. I have two different clutches of eggs in there - 7 looking good to go to hatch the 14th-ish (I set eggs in the evening when I get home, so the day after is not uncommon), and 15! That are due to hatch the 25th.

I have hatched differently aged clutches before by quickly hand-turning the younger eggs, but never with a full incubator! Now, barring the Great State of Ohio depositing my tax refund earlier than I think they will, I'm not able to purchase a second incubator until the 14th. What do I do?! Same as I have in the past? Or get that second bator asap the morning of the 14th and transfer over the eggs?

Welcome to the club! I just started bidding on a Brinsea Mini Advance. Why? Because I haven't used a Brinsea yet and I have a problem.

The little lone survivor hatched

Luckily he'll have some friends in six days when the next batch hatches.

If you're able to get a second incubator sooner that would certainly be the easiest way to do this but if you don't have any other options, then yes, I would hand turn until hatch day and then put them back in the turner once the others have hatched. I haven't done this myself because I always seem to have 4 incubators running, lol. So maybe someone else will step in to answer.
