Good night, week-old oatmeal!

Does anyone use (or know someone who uses) the brinsea mini? I shipped eggs from LA to NM, they all arrived intact and with mostly fine AC.

They were set Thursday in the BR mini and I'm concerned that they can only be on their sides. :/ any advice on this?

I've no idea. I would think if they are turning flat or tilting straight up they would be fine either way. Whenever my broodies are off the nest the eggs are always flat.

You give shipped eggs to your broodies?

MY husband put a dinasour up his nose - it got infected and he came down with flu symptoms. Apparently his body was "rejecting" the plastic.... so after hearing that horror story, and my son's compromised immune system, i'm a little worried about "waiting" too long to find out he really DID have a bead up his nose. haha ^.^

I got a bug in my ear that I thought I got out when it happened. Three months later at the doctor I discovered I didn't get it out. Still intact. Might want to get it checked.

I know what you mean, kids put you in a these "do I" or Don't I " situations for about 30 years.

No I missed that part but I wouldn't hesitate if the AC was good. They do a much better job than I.

They get their own kids and the pay back starts, it is a good period.

5 of 8 have decent looking AC. I'm just trying to get her as close to 100% as possible. I'm also learning that I'm not a "hands-off" seller.
