Keeping eggs from rolling around on the wire floor of your incubator.

[Red Fan]

I just read a post suggesting using scrunchies to hold eggs in place. I think I've come up with a more masculine version.

I took a piece of pvc pipe and sliced it at various angles to see which would work best. I doubt it will work any better than the scrunchies but I'll feel more comfortable talking to my burly work buddies about incubating eggs if I don't have to use the word scrunchies. Besides, not everyone has scrunchies laying around. (as opposed to pvc pipe and a table saw)

I haven't tested and/or perfected yet. I just thought I'd throw it out there to see if someone else wanted to try.

Sounds like a good idea...I've also seen one member using zip-ties to help keep them in place on the wire!

I am female, but the word "scrunchie" does not exist in my vocabulary. Good idea, by the way!

I'd thought about using those plastic three-legged inserts they put in take-out pizza boxes .. but haven't tried that yet

I just take something like a 1x2 and make "slats" for the eggs to stay aligned in.

I thought about that too. Even if it didn't work I'd have a good excuse to eat lots of take out pizza for weeks!

Try slicing toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls into 1/2" rings as egg holders. Then you can adjust the angle any way you want.

And you just sit the eggs on their side in the bator on the TP rolls?​
