Does anyone have pictures of an Octagon 20 with stacked eggs? I'm curious as to how you guys do this.
This is how I do it. I use wax paper to make little "nests" for each egg to sit in so it doesn't roll. You also use the wadded up wax paper to put on top of an egg and wedge it between the top of the incubator and the egg so it holds the egg still. You have to just experiment with the placement of the eggs and do a really slow hand tilt of the incubator and see if the are going to roll. You must do this before putting it on the turner cradle. I put my most prized eggs on the bottom rows and the least loved ones on top just in case of an accident. I am pretty sure I fit 34 in this picture. I had some smaller ameraucana eggs and I could fit 7 in each row on the bottom. Hope that helps. It takes a little bit of practice.
