Half shell egg

dont forget to do sometype of banding around the wrap to help keep it in place. You could have also used a starile safety pin to put air holes in the wrap unless you got the breathable kind.

Dixie cups?

Hm, yeah that might work! Thanks, @FortCluck !

I don't totally remember my plans, but would I take a Dixie cup, put some holes in the bottom and sides for some ventilation, put the egg shell and then the fertile egg inside, and then cover the top with saran wrap, securing it with a rubber band and putting some holes in the wrap on top? Thanks

Oh, how are you planning on turning the eggs? I don't think I can tip my incubator

I'm just going to rock it back and forth. I just move my eggs and never turn them a certain way. As long as they move they should be fine.

I saw all those videos a few years ago, I was intrigued but didn't try it myself, put it on my bucket list. The only thing I can see that would be a problem in a non laboratory condition, would be how to keep bacteria from getting into the contraption!

No idea I'm just messing around because everything has been cancelled. I have 11 other eggs incubating that are due to hatch in 8 days. We have so many eggs that I don't know what to do with them all.

Very interesting project. Definitely need a porous membrane so that the chick can get air.

What about using something like a coffee filter over the top of the a cup with saran wrap in the bottom to hold the egg up off the bottom of the cup.

I'll try other ideas I'm not sure yet if the one in the cup will do anything. I'm just waiting.

So... This won't work the way I did it and I can't get supplies so I'll have to come back to this another time to try it.
