The 9th Annual BYC Easter Hatchalong!

[Beer can]

If it is a hovabator with turner, it holds 42 eggs..........unless you stack them of course

Except for the turner that comes with the Hova from incubatorwarehouse, flat roller, supposed to hold 42. I thought it would be better, easier to clean anyway leaving it in when hatching. Holds any size eggs quail to goose. But if they're big long chicken eggs instead of three per slot only get two. I think I only got 30 in it when I set just Jersey Giant eggs the first time.
I kinda wish I paid the extra for the other turner, would get 42 in.
If I ever want to 'stuff' it, I think Ron mentioned it, I'll just turn the whole bator, prop it up back and forth. Lol.
Maybe it wasn't Ron, IDK? Is that something you can do? (Not with water in it I imagine) lol.

No, it won't work if you have water in it. There are drain holes, and if you tip it with water in it, you will have water all over.

I haven't been adding water till lockdown and still 30-35 dry, so I guess would be do-able. Just wasn't sure if I was remembering right, if it was ok.
