HELP! How do I place eggs in bator???

[Franecca]

Have borrowed a square, styrofaom bator. With egg trays. Do I lay the eggs on their sides or place them upright?

if you dont have a turner, mark and x on one side of them and an o on the other. lay them on their side and turn them two or three times a day, each time turning them so the opposite letter shows up.

THANK YOU! Wish me luck!

I think you shoud turn them an odd number each day, like 3 times. Good luck.

Okay, here it goes!!!!!! We closed the bator at 9:23 p.m. So I guess our "due date" is around Nov. 7th or 8th!!!!

The odd number per day is so that they don't always end up on the same side overnight.
