It looks OK to me, are they just on their sides?

Looks just fine to me! Why not use pencil on the eggs instead of ink?

 

[Daniel_2kaii9]

i didnt think of a pencil i just thought of a marker

is the marker ok on the eggs ?

I'm just curious because I'm building an incubator soon. What times do you turn them? What do you use as a heat source? The eggs look OK, but could you try to tilt the larger ends a little bit? I'm building a tilt into my incubator.

The marker is fine. I used to work in the poultry industry, and they used sharpies to mark ALL of their eggs without any negative impact.

i turn them 3 times a day when i get up about 10am 11am and then again at 5pm and then again before i go up stairs in the night

i got a 100watt light bulb in there for heat source

Thanks for responding. Do you think a 75 watt light bulb with a dimmer in a foot by foot incubator would heat it up enough?

 

[Daniel_2kaii9]

should do but if the temp gose up to high just change the bulb for a lower watt bulb

this is my first time incubating so im not really a expert lol

i just hoope my eggs hatch for me

and good luck with your incubator
