I used a Hovabator Genesis 1588 (forced air) with a 42 egg turner and set 50 eggs in it ~ 8 on top (marked with an X) ~ I had 2 clears and locked down 48 ~ as of yesterday I have 47 chicks hatched including all that were stacked on top. I don't think I would try it with a still air bator. Also the eggs that were stacked were all green eggs and are hard as rocks to crack! I originally thought that I would have more quitters and put the stacked ones in the turner, but it didn't work that way!

Some of the chicks ~ the rest were still drying in the bator...

The only thing I'm worried about is the turner might break..and I don't really want to go buy another $60.00 turner.

1 pipping!!!
Some 20 odd eggs still hanging on!

Out of the 42 I set, 40 made it to lock down, and 33 hatched.
I think I did pretty good if I say so myself.

I think I decided to try and make a incubator, using a fish tank, and a heat lamp.

Started lock down this morning on my 21 BCMs. Temp and humidity seem perfect (100 degrees and 65% humidity). It's our first time and the whole family is waiting with baited breath.
