Where I live it is still pretty cold at the moment, only just started coming out of winter a few days ago. It will be hard to get them up to that temperature and keep it stabilized but I will try! Hopefully it isn't too late for them.
! Still winter?! I really hope the best for you! Do you have the temp read yet? Do you keep other poultry?
maybe an end table cabniet?
Hi Rayvn!
Even if none of them make it, it's still good to try
, in your situation, the saran wrapped bowl would be best, or maybe a deep, glass roasting pan? Galss is an insulator thats why reccomending glass. That way though, when you turn the eggs? You can just simply (stabalize the eggs) put a book under one end at a time, and that will move them through the 90* turning, and keep you from needing to open it, therefore keeping it more stable. Keeping paper towels damp is tough, so a small cup or bowl would mean less fixing it. If you have an oral baby syringe, that could help you by just sticking it thru one of the saran holes when rewetting. You need to turn the eggs for the best chance at hatching. Lots of times i have read that tou should turn an Odd number of times a day, so that the eggs never sit on the same side two nights in a row, but everyones opinions differ.
