this brings up a question I have been dying to ask of you professionals. .....so without a hatcher, what happens? The chicks/keets hatch out in the incubator, and you just check in when it's time?
I move the eggs into lockdown in a different incubator, I usually fill up the water bucket at the top, and then put a pan of water covered with wire at the bottom of the incubator. Then I lay all the eggs on their sides on a tray, and put another tray on top of it so it is a sort of lid, and also so they can't jump out. It works, but it's kind of unhandy. Really need an actual hatcher! LOL
