Where did you get that hatcher? Fabulous.My hatcher is HUGE. I can do a couple of hatches at the same time. Life is just easier if I set eggs just once a week. I have hatching baskets. I put each set of eggs in its own basket. i can do more than one breed if they don't look alike... for example WL in with BLRW. But I can't do BLRW and Rhodebars or Partridge Rocks.... they are all chipmunk striped so just keeps confusion down.
I no longer hatch eggs like this. I use egg trays and keep the eggs upright. I also use shelf liner in the baskets now. I put a paper towel under and the the liner. It keeps splay legs down.
So, I was told that I only have to be NPIP to ship day old chicks IF they are crossing state lines?? Is this true?? I have family, in my state, that wants some, but would need to ship them.
It actually depends on which state you are shipping to. Here is a link to the regulations for the different states.

A friend of mine and I just had a great debate/discussion over hatching laying down vs upright. Can you tell me why you did, why you do and how it worked out for you? I have never hatched upright, but as you can see, I have eggs going in the hatcher very soon and would love to hear your experience! And how do you clean the shelf liner?
