This batch of light Brahmas were already pre-sold in fact the eager owner already picked them up.

But I am getting more to replace the ones that broke during shipment. I plan to keep some of those. Maybe we can share the chicks that hatch from the replacement eggs?

Yeah, and you can use the proceeds to buy Chinese take-out like we did tonight! Who said raising chickens isn't profitable?

What do you have the eggs sitting in to be upright like this and get so many in?
I use egg cartons in my Brinsea. They look like they are standing upright but are not touching, so I didn't think you were using the metal dividers that go between rows.

I am using the metal dividers and the foam spacers. Some of these are bantam eggs and I could fit more in. The way I did it was to leave out the spacer next to the edge, then put in a spacer 8 notches over. I put all the largest eggs in there. That is the row at the bottom of the picture. Then I put another spacer 7 notches over and fit eggs in there. I kept fitting in eggs as I went along until the final row was the perfect size for the bantam eggs. I paid too much for this thing to have to use egg cartons! I found that having the each touching really helped keep them from rolling out during the auto-turning. I moved them to the Hovabator and spaced them out for the actual hatch.

love this picture. Where is the millie? Is that him on the bottom right far side? Looks like him...lol. Where did you get your millie eggs from?
 
Yes he is in the far right corner. I got my MFD eggs from Lynne of Wingshadows Hacienda in So Cal. I now have 38 MFD's in the incubator from bantyrooster!
