I just cut the lids off and put the eggs in pointy end down. I don't cut them down or anything....never had any issues with either LF or bantam chicks getting out of them.

What if you took out 3 of hatched chicks & u still have 4 eggs left to hatch~ you don't put the ones you took out back in do you? This is a lot more complicated than when the hen does ALL the Work & Worry

And now possible tornado=no heat lamp & no computer

I didn't mean open it up and do it with these eggs....just an idea for future incubations. I hatched for a long time with the eggs just laying on their sides, but never liked how the eggs got rolled around. I switched to egg cartons a couple of years ago and won't ever go back to doing it without.

So the last three days you put them in egg cartons inside the incubator? Does it make it easy to tell which chick is which?
