eggs in the rails during hatching

[d1]

i think somewhere on here that some people leave eggs in the rails during hatcing,however I cant find the post for it, my question is: can you leave ALL in them rails safely?

I would be afraid of their feet or legs getting caught... I hatch mine in egg cartons with the bottom cut out.

sorry I didnt make it more specific I do not use a turner just the rails in a home made incubator for easier turning the rails can sit flat on the bottom of the trays I have them on(simular to leaving them in an egg carton

I will post pics later

My first time hatching, I left them in the rails cause I didn't know any better. Ended up opening the bator to take them out.

You cut holes in the carton for more air and humidity to get to the egg.

I'd hate to think of the cleanup the rails would need.
