yes i am due Sunday and this is my first hatch too but since i had so many eggs i just layed them all in there, if i was to use just the racks for holding the eggs i would be worried about one falling over and creating like a domino effect and having them all crack when they fall especially when it comes time to haching and they are rocking their eggs, its just me tho as i am not sure how deep the turner is but it doesnt look to deep
Edited to tell BawGock i still think that chicken is huge i will see if the 1 jersy giant i am keeping will grow to look like that we will see
