My Hatching Journey: the Adventures of a Complete Newbie

[WalnutHill]

I have. I made 1/4" hardware cloth tubes that fit the Little Giant turner rails so that I could incubate oversize turkey eggs (one was 152g). The eggs laid end to end along the rail, and I used zip ties to secure the wire to the plastic rail. The huge egg was twins, and they developed side by side, with plenty of room. They made it to 21 days, when one quit, and the other followed soon after.

I've considered creating some for the GQF that will fit in the existing metal trays. I'd run them front to rear so they will roll over a 90 degree arc instead of tipping over a 90 degree arc.

They are so cute though, hope they all hatch! LOL @ the CRS - sometimes I'm sure I fried too many brain cells once upon a time.

Sounds interesting, let me know if you ever try it. When I had peas in my coolercabinet I rigged wire, but I dont think they were turning near as far as they shoulda been... I ended up pulling them and laying at day 10 in a cooler and turning them, but I had a paper towel folded to keep the fat end up just a bit higher, I am getting ancona eggs this week and not sure how I want to incubate them this time. I never had issues with them, pretty hardy egg to hatch. so maybe test some both ways...
