Too many eggs, not enough room 😕

We got our eggs today. He gave us 14. Our incubator says it will hold 12. A few of the eggs are quite big...so it’s only holding 9. I’m so bummed!! It’s Sunday so everything is closed. I’m going to see if our local farm supply has any incubators in stock tomorrow. They were only laid yesterday so I think I have time. I hope I can find another one! I can’t bear to not give each egg a chance!

Have you candled the very large eggs to make sure they don't have two yolks? Double yolkers rarely survive. You wouldn't want to set those.
The eggs can sit out at room temperature for several days and still be viable.

If it's a magicfly incubator (I think it may be judging by the numbers) just hand turn the eggs and don't out in the black auto turner and will fit almost 20 eggs. I am doing that now for the same reasons.

It is an HHD incubator. Should have spent more and got a bigger incubator.

I did candle them but I’m brand new at this and don’t know what I’m looking at, haha. I’m going to google this and candle that one again.
