Setting Eggs Today

[3forfree]

I'm putting 24 eggs into my homade cooler bater at noon today. I used this cooler bator before with good results, I've been running it for 4 days empty and the temps seem to be in the range it was in when I used it last year, humidity around 50%. I'm going to have the eggs in styrofoam cartons, and was wondering if it was ok to remove them from the cartons the day before lockdown. Thanks.

I moved them to a bigger cooler, things are working out better than in the smaller one.

Hey that's one good looking home brew bator there!.. Anyone that can take the time and effort to make their own incubator should be applauded!
