Is there better hatch rate by. Setting eggs up in egg cartons for hatching? Or by putting a shelf liner in at lock down? Saw where someone swears by the upset eggs hatched better

I have not experienced this, but I will say orientation matters. Eggs on their side, or pointy part down, are easier to hatch, because pointy part up eggs tend to have the air pocket on the wrong side.Is there better hatch rate by.

I think I've had a couple that definitely took longer to get their bearings straight from being kicked around so much on my first hatch with the plastic bottom. I really like those rubber grid pattern shelf liners (I use two layers). They definitely help a lot with that. The first time, without them, it was like bowling. I was wincing the whole time. Not sure about an egg crate though.Is there better hatch rate by. Setting eggs up in egg cartons for hatching? Or by putting a shelf liner in at lock down?

I don't know if this is your first hatch or not or what kind of science you're doing but if it is your first hatch and you just have a plain hard plastic bottom you are debating, I can tell you it's painful. Use cushion liners that won't absorb too much humidity or funk but will provide cushioning and not such an easy role for sure!Is there better hatch rate by.

I have padded shelf liner stuff I intended to use, Had terrible hatch rates last year so trying to make better choicesI use two layers of this stuff. Thoroughly washed (borax) and peroxided then rinsed and set out in the sun before hatch, even when new.
Oh good! Yeah that was painful huh? Was it soccer or bowling? I was cringing! Definitely should come in the box like the turner doesI have padded shelf liner stuff I intended to use, Had terrible hatch rates last year so trying to make better choices
