Bought a wine cooler for saving/keeping hatching eggs cool

[joebryant]

I got tired of worrying about the eggs I was saving to put in the incubator or under a broody; there was no place in this house cool enough to save them safely. I read someplace on BYC that they are best kept at 50-55 degrees. I bought the perfect solution... a wine cooler. I have it set so that the top is 55 degrees and the bottom is 50 degrees. Wouldn't you know, Anne stuck three bottles of white wine into it. I can't win. It'll hold 17 bottles, but it's only a matter of time before...

It's just 3 bottles...still plenty of room

Great idea BTW!

The humidity is 42%. Is that good or bad? I don't know.

 

[Julie08]

It is suppose to be closer to 80% for the holding period.

Thanks, that's good to know. I'll experiment with different sizes of bowls of water to raise it when I put eggs in.

Atleast you'll have something to drink during pipping!
