Okay, we set up our new incubator today. Not the hatcher's choice from what I've heard. Little Giant 9200 still air. No turner. I didn't know you had to buy it separate, and only had the money for the incubator. So. The incubator is up and running, trying to stabilize the temperature at 100. We removed one vent plug. No we are trying to decide how we want to lay the eggs in there tomorrow. On the wire screen, or in an egg carton with bottoms cut out. Thing is, two of the eggs are small Mille Fluer eggs. I'm scared they'll fall through. If you use the egg carton method, do you still lay them in there sideways, or just small side down. And if you put them in there small side down, how do you go about turning them if the big end is up instead of the eggs lying on there sides? I think I may just lay them on the wire screen. That way I know what I'm doing. When we have the money, I will have to purchase the egg turner for future hatches.
I do not have a hygrometer. Is there any way to be sure the humidity is okay without one? Should I just keep the moisture rings filled with water all the way at all times to be on safe side? Incubator did not come with hygrometer, and we can't find one anywhere right now. Not sure why.
So, we will be setting tomorrow, so if anyone has any advice, PLEASE post it. Thank you!
