Lockdown question.

[stm_96]

My eggs have been in a egg turner, i have 3 days until lockdown. Whenever i take them out the egg turner, how do i need to lay them?

 

[Hybridchucks]

Yeah, you take the egg turner out

 

[Hybridchucks]

And about laying them down, just on their sides

 

[pennyJo1960]

Yup Hybrid has it right that lets them get their feet under them
leaving the peeps in a day will encourage others to hatch

 

[stm_96]

So lay them

And about laying them down, just on their sides

So lay them vertically or horizontally?

 

[Yorkshire Coop]

I just lay them on there on their sides horizontally in the incubator tray.

Unless they are shipped eggs with wonky air cells or it’s just a small hatch then I will hatch them in cut down egg cartons so the eggs are vertical.

 

[Hybridchucks]

Horizontally!

Thanks y'all! I'm really nervous for lockdown! I hope they hatch!

Candle first, and lay the lowest side of the air cell dip upward.
