Double stack in Brinsea mini?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Ah! We just picked up our BCM eggs and the breeder shipped us 10! What do we do? I don't want to waste the 3 extra eggs. We have a Brinsea mini advance. Help! Does TSC sell incubators?

they ship extra cause not all of them will be fertile.  Tractor supply stores have incubators, along with most farm stores.

What if I don't use the auto turner and I turn them by hand for the first 7-10 days? Then toss the duds and start up the auto turner for the remaining eggs? That's assuming I have 3 duds.

I don't see any harm in your plan.

a brinsea mini can take 10 eggs without the turner plate

 

the turner plate is why it states 7 and ther eis only 7 egg holes

 

 

you wont need to double stack them

 

10 is fine
