just curious if theres any pros/cons of powering up the incubator when i only have enough eggs to half fill it? one of my best laying hens is still laying (all the others have stopped) and her eggs are fertile...and am hoping any of her offspring that hatch will also be good layers (the hens anyway!)
i dont want to hatch too many 'early birds' so have set aside 12 eggs, my OH thinks i should wait another 2 weeks and then power up the 'bator when its full...but im worried the earlier eggs may not be in great condition by then (they'll be 2 and 3 weeks old)
so..should i fire her up or wait a bit?
