I usually run a length of clear "airline" tubing, the kind for fish tanks, through the same opening for the turner cord. One end in the water troughs, one end hanging out. I use a large, needleless syringe to add water as needed.

Happy hatching!

But if you already have the turner in there how do you fit it with the cord

Run it from the troughs up between the racks, then out a vent hole in the top.

Personally I just open mine daily......that way if an egg is bad, I can usually tell & catch it so it does not explode.


Or from the vent, between the racks, down to the troughs. Some people use two tubes. Some just use one.

Are you incubating or on lockdown? If incubating you can just open and fill, if on lockdown, you should have the turner out....
