Brinsea Eco...how many eggs.

"My name is Cortney...and I have a problem....."

Oh goodness, if this is any sign of whats to come I am going to be uttering those words shortly

as I am ALREADY trying to negotiate my hatching eggs with the Brinsea Eco. So here is the deal for all those who have tried or failed, how many eggs can one fit in the eco. This is my first hatch so I don't want to doom myself to failure but gosh now that I see all the wonderful eggs I COULD hatch

:and the incubator I am wondering if it can hold more than 12?

Twenty-four normal chicken eggs. Probably 36 bantam; maybe more like 40 if they're small.

That one holds 24

Unless you are referring to the Mini Eco, which holds 10 without the turner and only 7 with...

Ok I am VERY EXCITED!!! It seemed big for 12, 24 is a much better number! Thank you everyone.

I usually get about 28-30 eggs in my eco. I lay some on top/staking. I always have a few eggs that just don't develope so I take those out and rotate the ones on top. That way I get nearly full hatches each time

Here's a picture from last year. I use a wad of wax paper at the end of the row to stabilize the eggs standing up. The stacked eggs are on top of that. They are all LF eggs.
