What do you do if the ones on the bottom of the stack start to hatch first???

 

[calicokat]

That was my question too, how do you control the actual hatching? Looks like it could be pretty darn crazy in there if it doesn't go just right.

WOW, just WOW

OK... here we go! I'm gonna try to answer as many ????s as best I can

Here's a shot of the whole deal... That is a 144 qrt Catfish Cooler (that I built a bator into) resting on top of The Monsta...
Notice the 3/4 inch PVC pipe in the center there... that's the "tilt table" handle...

Here's a look inside of the 144 qrt cooler/bator: There are 70 eggs in here, Blk Aussies & Ameraucaunas

(Question) "How do U turn all of those eggs???"
In the next 2 pics... Note the "tilt" table that the eggs are stacked on... The table will tilt the eggs 40 degrees in both directions...
Here, tilted towards the window...

Here, tilted away from the window...

(Question) "What happens if the eggs on the bottom of the stack start hatching before the others???
On day 18... all of the eggs are removed from the "Incubation" trays... and placed into "Hatching" trays...

Then they are placed back into the "Monsta" for the hatching process to be completed...
Hope this answers some questions... And "Dang" this was fun!!

HenPen... I made this Monsta-strocity up as I went along!...
I used 1/2 inch OSB board, 1/4 inch Inside trim wood paneling, 1 inch foam insulation, a used Kenmore Fridge defrosting element, a GQF waffer theromostat, a 120mm pc fan, and 2, 80mm pc fans, a used 120volt AC/DC power converter...
I'll bet I don't have $50.00 in this thing...
I picked up everything but the wood and insulation second hand and cheap!

I will post pics when I put the eggs into the hatching trays....

 

[SarahIrl]

Um, if you have eggs stacked on eggs, how do the bottom ones hatch? Do you have a room devoted to hatching??

Sorry, didn't read all of your post, duh!

Don't envy you candling that lot, though

 

[Toast n Jelly]

I'm speechless

I'm following this thread to see the results of this fantastic hatching.
