Incubator question
« on: March 20, 2013, 07:09:34 pm »
Set up incubator, on day 8 candled eggs and removed 6 infertile eggs. Can I add more eggs, or do I wait till till hatching is complete and start again?
pygmy goats, gsd, border collie, scots dumpys, cochins, araucanas, shetland ducks and geese,  marrans, and pea fowl in a pear tree.

Why would you have to wait ??? so long as you have another incy or hatcher then there is no probs. How do you think people go on that have 200 plus incys they mark there eggs (chickens for example) then at 17/18 days they put them into a hatcher. this is normally at 37.0deg and 67% ish humidity none turning!!!!  Thats exactly what i do !!!

Just got the impression that most people starting out have only the one machine.....
