Homemade insert for Brinsea Mini Advance II Incubator?

[msiler]

I recently got a Brinsea Mini Advance II incubator. I have yet to test it out on a batch of fertile eggs, but I did let it run for 24 hours and it works great! The problem is that it only holds 7 eggs. I thought it would be fine when I bought it but now I have come to the conclusion that I want to order some Bobbi Porto Silkie hatching eggs. I looked up the 14 egg insert but all the reviews said that it is too small to hold bantam eggs, only quails. Is there a way to make a homemade insert for the incubator, that would work? I have no idea myself, but I wanted to put it out there. Let me know what you think!

Is this what you have???

Lets be realistic. It is physically small in size, so making different inserts will not make any larger volume.
I understand that you are faced with larger quantity of eggs and have no Idea how to do ALL of them at one time.
There are other incubators out there , and for less $$$ than this one that can handle more eggs.
I understand that you are trying your best to do with what you currently have.

If you're wanting to do more than 7 eggs, I'd sell the Brinsea and get a bigger incubator. I use GQF styrofoam tabletop models, they hold 42 eggs.

Thanks for your response! I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part that I would only want to hatch 7 eggs at a time...

Do you have to manually turn these ones?

Not at all, there are turners available.
