So fun!

Where did you order from?

Definitely use the large-hole plastic cross-stitch canvas.

There's a good hack on here somewhere for one for the Incuview by @aart, but I bet you could modulate it for your incubator.

I have been collecting things I already have to see what might work:

Clever!

I'm glad yours works for you. I borrowed one from someone once and it was full of hot and cold spots and had temp spikes (>102 degrees) a lot. Hopefully the one I was using was just particularly crummy, but it definitely scared me off of them personally.

Probably not maintained correctly or older. Mine is brand new and I haven't had issues. There are cold spots when I don't have it in the correct spot in my spare room.

Forgot to add this. Here's my organization skills I'm my incubator right now. Everything is separated. I also put in 3 more of the mini white eggs I'm torturing myselfView attachment 2037087

I took a page out of your book today. Wanted to keep the three eggs from here that go in lockdown today from playing soccer with the 14 day old shipped eggs. So I used a cardboard cereal box and folded it over to get it into a divider to go between them. Shipped on one side that hatch on the 5th, home eggs on the other that should hatch Saturday.

I will have to search for little baskets that looks so much better than my inpromtu fence lol.

Hi, all! Jumping on to say I've just set 15 eggs--14 CCL + another of my marans as a fertility check. Of course, I wouldn't be me if I weren't continuing to bid on chicks and eggs all over the place. My hatch is due 3/19

What does everyone else have cooking?

3 brown eggs either from a red sex link or black jersey giant
10 white eggs from white leghorns
8 olive eggs from (need I say it? ) olive eggers

I’m on day 15
