Thanks! Sorry to hear that your hatch didnt go so well. I hope we have better luck than you did. If not I will be ordering some new eggs from members of this site.

Yes there are a few vent holes on the left and right sides of bator. Not on top were you could see. Does the size of the holes matter greatly?

I'm so glad the 2nd batch made it there well. It was nice of them to send another shipment. Good luck and happy hatchings!!

Can I borrow your DH to have him make me one?

Just a caution: If you post pics like the ones of the box of eggs you received in the mail, ALWAYS blank out your name and address! (black marker or just put a piece of tape or paper over it) I'm sure none of the regular members here would do you harm, but you never know who might be scanning through looking for such things.
Just a thought.

Thanks moonwalker, I actually meant to do that when I resized the pics but was too excited and forgot. It has been corrected. thanks so much.

He is definately my handyman. There isn't much that he can't do. If you didn't live so far away I would certainly let you borrow him to help build your own hatcher.

Good Luck Layin Eggs! That Hubby Bator looks real nice. Looks like you got a good set up going!

They look good. Cutting the carton like that really helps keep it from bouncing against the inside of the box and crushing the eggs by jarring. I wouldn't worry about the cold... I have had awesome hatches on eggs that sat at the P.O. over a holiday weekend and I have had awesome hatches on eggs that arrived here all last winter, with it being as cold at -35 when some of them arrived. Good luck with your hatch.

My husband use to have a large Salt Water fish tank and when fish/corals are shipped they come in stryos like that. different sizes depending on order.

Yes, you can usually go to your local pet store they get all there fish orders in and i am sure they would give you one.
