Am I tilting the incubator enough?!-PICS-

That's genius!! I could never use the egg carton method b/c I couldn't fit stuff in there to tilt them with. But this is genius....duh!

haha Its pretty easy too, I use CDs so I can keep making it higher if i want. I dont want the eggs to stick to their sides, never hatched a single egg in my life..now that I see vains, my heart is about to jump out of my body. Its like...when my daughter was being born but without the screaming and the pinching

should I tilt it even further? One bator has quail eggs and the other have my....nutoriously dark

cuckoo marans eggs

I think it's fine like it is. I think it's about as much of an angle as my auto turner gets to. What day are you on? Let us know how it goes!

I'm on day 4 only I still have a looooong wait

I have great hatches, turn my eggs in the cartons 3x a day. besides, my luck dictates that my kids or pets would knock it over if I had it balanced

well for me its also easier than opening the incubator each time to tilt all the cartons haha. heck I have a tube attached to the towel so I can just blow water into it....-i'm soooo lazy-

I would cut out the bottoms. The eggshells have pores in them so they can breath and they need to be able to do that.

Good luck on your hatch. Happy fuzzy-butts!

I did that with my current eggs that are in the hatcher. I think it worked just fine. 2 have pipped and its day 19. Soo we'll see how it goes. Good luck!
