I set 35 BW eggs on 02-26 (Thur) and due to a shipping problem got the other 30 I bought today (03-02) and set 29 of them. My problem is that I only have one incubator and use it for hatching as well. I'm wondering if I can hold the first set @ 99.5 until day 20-21 and move them to hatch temp (98.5) at the same time as the second set which will be on day 16-17 for them. Is it ok to adjust these eggs a couple of days each way like that? Any help is appreciated.

Extended hatching in one machine and you'll not be able to maintain the humidity.

Best spend the money on another ....you'll need it in the future anyway.

Set it up a week before so it gives you time to get the temp and humidity on the money.
You want to be ready.

  Heck, more like $60, he didn't need a turner for the second one.  The point is, that's $60-$100 that she won't get to spend.

  He's probably too young to know the trick of scuffing up the outside, and wrapping spider webs around the cord, to make it look like a $10 junk store purchase.  Besides, once he starts serving her Quail omelets in bed, and beer batter Quail breasts, she'll calm a bit.
