Hi i have a couple questions. One for the egg turner, dont we have to turn the eggs a quarter way around 4 times a day? I planned to lay mine in their side originally. If its just rocking from one side to the other is that really enough? Not trying to be snarky! I only ask because i would love to make something to turn my eggs so i dont have to keep lid open for so long and loose all the humidity and temp.
My second question is, i have a styrofoam cool with bottles of water, rocks, pan of water with sponge, a small fan, and a 25watt bulb with dimmer switch. i have several holes all around bottom and some on top. And i have the light at about same level as eggs. (Read on one site to do that) Im in fl its humid here and the levels in the house make it fluctuate so we put it inside of a non working mini fridge. Now my question is my hubby says to leave the lid closed on the fridge and when i go in 4 times a day to turn eggs it will produce enough oxygen. but i say no they need venilation and the fridge door will at least need proped open to let oxygen get in and carbon dioxide out at all times. Or will the holes in the cooler with the lid only proped open still not be enough? What do you all think about that? I was thinking about put duct tape all around my styrofoam and/or cutting up another styrofoam cooler and tapeing it to the outside of the existing one to add more insulation since the plastic coolers seem to give a higher hatch rate according to ones i have seen. Any thoughts tip or ideas? Thank you!!!!
