Egg divider for incubator??

[Chicken-lovebirdchihuahua]

Can you get disposable foil loaf trays or similar? Any kind of container that will fit nicely in your incubator will work. I always hatch in a container because Button quail chicks are so teeny.

That's a good idea but it won't get to hot will it?

It won't get any warmer than the air. I used to put holes in them for ventilation but for quail at least it doesn't seem to be necessary (though in a still air incubator it probably would be a good idea).

Hello again everyone I have a question so I don’t have a loaf tray or any of the other things except I might have the strawberry basket but I found this container would it work should I poke holes in it or anything or should I leave it?

Be sure to put something like the anti slip liners in the bottom to prevent splayed legs. I would put holes in the sides to aid air circulation.

For the anti slip or for the holes? The anti slip liners are available at Walmart and other such stores. For the holes, probably the quickest way is to just drill a lot of 1/4" or 3/8" holes in the sides.

I've never used them, but I've also seen folks hatch in those mesh bags, like we sometimes use for delicates in the washer?
