Help Please!!! Using a Brinsea Eco 20 with dividers at lockdown???

[JordanFamily]

I was wondering: I'm incubating goose eggs and was wondering if it is ok to leave them standing up with the dividers still in place for hatch time? Has anyone done this and with what results??? Thanks U!

The dividers for the Brinsea are supposed to be removed and the eggs laid on their sides at lockdown for hatching.
Chicks can get caught in the dividers. Good luck with your hatch!

If you want to keep them upright, use a (large) egg carton with the bottoms cut out.
To prevent unneccessary rolling around of unhatched eggs by newly hatched chicks, I like to use a piece of that rubbery shelf liner for dishes.
