Hey everyone,
Alright, I started the egg carton method because my shipped eggs had jiggly air sacs. I wanted the eggs to be in the best position to keep the air sac stable. We started with 46 shipped and we now have 21 going into lock down, all of their air sacs seem to have stabilized except for 6. But the chicks are moving well when candled.
Now since I already have them in carton should I let them hatch there? All I did is cut the top off the egg carton. Should I do anything else to the cartons before lock down later today? Would it be best to lay them on their side now?
I really have no clue as to what to do now to prepare for lock down. Please let me know.. I'm a bit worried about this next step..
