What do I do with my incubator if I will be gone for two days?

Hi All,

I have a Janoel 12, which has an automatic turner. However, I still freak out about leaving the incubator without checking the temperature and making sure the eggs have actually turned enough! What should I do if I must go away this weekend? I am nearly positive you should never transport incubating eggs...... What do you suggest? Should I have my neighbor come check on them?

Am I just being a helicopter mom? lol

thank you!!! Happy almost friday!

Use it as an opportunity to learn to relax about it. It'll most likely be okay

From someone who has made a transportable incubator and taken eggs in the car: leave them home. Its a lot less stressful.

Thank you! I was with them last night and then I will be back with them early tomorrow morning. I am just nervous because it is day 22 today and everyone says the last week is the most dangerous for them.

Does anyone have any hatching tips for this final week?

Ducks!! Three pekins, two blue runners, and two white crested. Mallards died early on.

I'm not very familiar with ducks. but they should be alright.
