The trip back to LA was uneventful. I managed to sleep for about 6 hours on the plane.

My shower greeted me with warm massaging fingers.

Here are just a few pics of the trip.

The cowboy outfits are adorable!!! I bet they will want to be sleeping in the boots. The egg shots are wonderful...what potential they represent. May everything come to fruition!

Do you incubate the eggs double stacked?

yes but we have excellent air circulation pulling the air across the incubator at 4 levels as well as drawing to from top to bottom,

we have double stacked local eggs experimentally with 80% hatch.

the "breeze" system seems to increase fluid loss in eggs and may helped with hatches.

I know someone who double stacked Guinea Eggs in a plain old 1588 incubator. Egg turner worked perfectly too.I think she said she got close to 60 in there. She ran four of those incubators non stop During laying season. Till she found a sportsman on Craigslist. It just takes good air flow and a steady reliable way to measure temps and humidity.

Mine are double stacked on trays that allow airflow. Should not be an issue.
