Can I store eggs that I plan to incubate in a styrofoam egg carton ? or would a cardboard one be better ?
I've used both. Just someplace nice and cool, 60s temp and you will be fine. Try to tilt them acouple times a day......
Quote:Styrofoam is fine. You want to keep them around 50 to 55F, large end up, and turn them once a day. Turning them is as simple as propping one end up at 45 degrees, then reversing them.
They are on the kitchen counter, right beside my incubator. I plugged in my incubator this morning, right now it reads 100.2 F and 40% humidity. So far, so good, right ?? How long should I let it "do it's thing" before I put in my first eggs ?
Thank you Miss Jayne, you are my new best friend ! Well, maybe right after Nadine. (Nadine was my first enabler !) By the way Nadine, I spent most of the day in my garage/"chicken house" cleaning, packing stuff up and rearranging..... Boom-Boom is "doing his thing", if you get my drift. So, in a couple of days, I will have eggs in the incubator, and we will be grandparents of little boom-booms !
If you dont want to use cartons, you can sure use your egg turner on counter for the same purpose. Works for me!
