enough of a tilt?

[ebonykawai]

For my next batch of eggs, I was think of tilting them like this instead of hand turning:

First of all, does anyone else do this and if so, have you gotten good results? Is it not as good as hand turning, better, the same, etc?

And second, is this tilting them at enough of an angle?

Thanks!

Most autoturners turn thro 90 degrees ... 45 one way then thro to 45 the other.

Looks good enough to me.

That will work.

Thanks! I was trying to see how much other turners get them tilted and it looked about right but, heh, what do I know? Kinda makes me seasick looking at it.

The tilt is ok, but you will lose temp and humidity making the change. This could be a problem later.

What about using the blocks under the outside of the bator, tilting the whole thing?

You won't have to open it to turn then.

Looks good to me. I wouldn't worry about the needing to open the bator since it would be even less time than hand turning.
