Redhen and I went in on a couple of hundred Texas A & M quail eggs (turned out to be a few hundred!
) And I've been trying to show her how you can hand turn...w/out turning each egg by hand. I didn't know if the info could be of use to others...so I decided to post it here...
Line the bottom of your bator with non-skid shelf liner and then put your eggs into cartons.
Here's mine...
Notice the sponges...instead of putting water in the bottom wells of the bator, I use sponges to add the necessary humidity (and just re-moisten them as needed)
Now just prop one end of the bator up on a brick....
And a few hours later, switch the brick to the other side of the bator. (I also put a strip of non-skid shelf liner under each side of my bator to make sure the side w/out the brick doesn't slide)
There you have it folks...easy turning w/out the auto turners! (My goodness, could you imagine hand turning all those eggs?
