Hi, I've been doing some reading and came across some threads about hatching using eggs cartons. I use a brinsea ovation 28 and a typical hatch usually involves 1 or 2 chicks hatching and then playing football with the rest of the eggs that haven't hatched or are pipped. At first I used to quickly pop the lid open and turn the eggs back over but on one occasion doing this caused some of the chicks to get shrink-wrapped which meant I had to help them hatch which I really didn't want to do. Now when I hatch I usually leave them be and let nature take its course, this seems to work and my hatch rates are still good but I cant bear to see the pipped eggs being rolled around and bashed about by the hatched chicks. My question is do any of you use the egg carton method for hatching and how would I go about it. Is it better than hatching eggs horizontally. Pictures of examples would be amazing so that I could see what needs to be done because I'd like to try it for my next hatch.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
