Would love to see pictures. I put stained glass windows in my pig house, (which is now another chicken house..) They were windows I had architect students build for learning....I didn't get any fudge there. Totally missed that! I wasn't there long, Built the windows here and went up there for the installation.
Will need a picture of that too!I would have been a little over 30. Did you say a peacock for the front door? Wife is working on a quilt
for our bed out of peacocks.
I didn't think the universal rails were very good either. The distributor recommended rollers, so I got those. I wonder if the trays are better... These are the rollers. They are supposed to turn the eggs more smoothly. You set the o rings where you need them. In this picture, I'm just using them to hold these shipped eggs upright. Normally, the eggs would lay on top of the rollers. I still have had lots of malpositions with these though.@casportpony , @TJChickens , @Phage :
Regarding R-Com turning - I have an R-Com 20 Max. At first I was using the universal rails - and because it plays the little song when turning, and because I'm compulsive, after I set I would get up and watch it turn the eggs. The eggs were NOT always being turned effectively and consistently with that set up. I got a rush shipment of the chicken egg shaped insert (not included) from Strombergs, (turning by hand as needed in the meanwhile) and put it in on day three. I've been watching it, and it has turned each egg very well and consistently every single time since. You do need to set the tray in firmly so each "position" has good contact with the turning belt.
The 20 egg tray is rated for chicken or duck eggs. I STRONGLY recommend getting one. Without it, I was really disappointed. With it, I've been delighted so far.
Just my experience.

Edit to add: Phage, they also have an insert for larger eggs. (There's also a quail one as well).
How did your pea eggs do with that turner? Any malpositions?

Just ordered a new pair of Ariats today - current ones holding up well, but heel a bit ragged on the inside. (I wear the smallest men's size, 7D, have to order online). I LOVE Ariats...
When I first put in the chicken tray, the whole bottom row didn't turn right (again, compulsively checked). Turns out that end wasn't down far enough and not close enough to the roller surface. I pushed it all the way down (had to be firm), and then it's been fine. Your outer ones make me wonder if the corners weren't pushed down all the way. I had to push harder than I would have thought...
I would love that option - where did you get those rollers?Would love to see pictures. I put stained glass windows in my pig house, (which is now another chicken house..)

Will need a picture of that too!I will take a picture of my door as soon as it looks like something....
