HELP!!!! RUSH!! overflown bators

[aurorarose25]

I ordered some eggs and had perfect amount with some room to spare, now I have to hand turn them but still don't have enough room.
The breeders sent TONS of extras I didn't expect, not complaining about that. I don't want them to be discarded.What can I do???
Can I put some eggs on top of other eggs while incubating????????????

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!

if you have a forced air, you can stack them. use some wax paper crumpled up into wads and shoved in between eggs or something to keep them from rolling around too much. there's a thread somewhere on here if you search for brinsea stacking, you'll see an example

if you have a still air though, i wouldn't recommend stacking, the temperature difference would be too great.

are they all on their sides? if so, you can put them vertically instead (pointy end down) to make more space

I have a hovabator 1602 N thermal air flow and another one coming in... I haven't put them in my bators yet just receiving them, I am at 68 eggs now and still have more coming.

Quick trip to the feed store to buy another incubator?

You know you want to.

Hmm.... I have room in my bator.

Seriously... though, People double stack in bators all the time. Maybe you can become an expert on this hatch.

most people just tilt the entire incubator (ie, put a stack of books under one side, then move it to the other side, back and forth) to "turn" vertical eggs.
