HELP!!!! Confused about egg cartons!!

[hobbychick]

I cut the holes in the bottom because I had read that on some other posts.

I am all ready to go in the morning I think

I am excited, nervous, and ready for the 21 days to be over already!!!

My husband thinks I am crazy!!

Thank you for all your help and I will keep you posted.

I am always looking forward to day 21 too when i set eggs but also, to day 7 when i candle. I love to see life inside that shell so quickly. My boys love it too.

This will be my 3 boy's first time with anything like this! I am interested to see how they react.

I am sure they will be just as excited as I am but they have better things to do then just sit and look at the bator for 21 days, but I am sure thats what I will be doing.!!!!!

Do you have a pretty good hatch rate???

I use a turner for the first 18 days then I use the paper/pulp cartons to hatch in. I don't cut any holes in the bottom tho. My last hatch was 23 out of 24 eggs.

That hatch rate seems pretty darn good!! Thanks!!

I put mine in cardboard cartons on day 18. next time I'll use styrofoam cartons with the bottoms cut out, the cardboard messed up my humidity I believe.
