You could put some self liner in the bottom to sit to the eggs on if you are worried about them slipping about. Incubating them on their sides is fine just mark either side of the egg, one with an O and the other with an X. Turn at least 3 times per day but 5 would be better. As long as it's an odd number of times per day it's fine. This is so they don't sit in the same position for more than 1 night at a time as this is when there is the most time inbetween turns. Once you get your hygrometer in there you will get an idea of what water you will need in there for the humidity. Brinseas are good at holding the humidity so you probably won't need a lot. Do you have a guard cover for the water pot for when they are hatching?

York, how do you get in more than 10 eggs.

York, how do you get in more than 10 eggs.

I'm not sure you can in the mini but it depends on how big your eggs are. The 10 is recomended for the standard hen eggs but I'm sure you can get more in of smaller eggs. I have the octagon 20 which says 24 hen eggs but I've got 33 polish eggs in there before.

i did fall but it was just a sore ankle,it's ok now.A brazlion years ago you ask what me and Jane take for arthitis I can't take anything .I only have one kidney so that stops me from anything strong.

I take Aleve for artheritis. Only take sparingly cardiologist says because of my heart condition.

I knew everyone would be gone when i got caught up from timr spent at chirch-southern baptist.
Granny spread some Borax around where u see the ants. It kills them. Will have to keep chickens penned up for a few days though as they will eat it.

Look at all the flowers! On clearance, $60 for all. Two of the purple ones for me. Yellow ones have gone to seed, but are perennials. So are purples. And two roses.
