About a year ago I bought some six-egg foam shippers and now I can't seem to find the supplier where I purchased them. I have had GREAT results with these shippers and I am about out of my current supply. Does anybody know a good source for buying these shippers? The particular ones I have...

I just bought a Brinsea Octagon 20 Advanced incubator on eBay for $120. I am assuming it is used. Is that a good price? I doesn't come with the turning cradle, so I will have to buy one of those separately. Right now I am using LG styrofoam incubators, so hopefully this will be an upgrade.

How long should I wait before it's time to give up on eggs hatching. I am in the process of hatching some eggs and a few of them are now 3 days overdue. One of them, however, just cracked its shell, but I don't see any movement. How long do most people wait before disposing of the eggs that...
