I usually just lay all of the eggs on the wire but they end up getting rolled around alot. So, i'm thinking about using egg cartons next time during lockdown, but i want some feedback on how to do that and how well it works. Thanks!

The incubator I am using was my mother's- it is homemade and hadn't been used for 20 years! The trays are wood with 2 metal screens in each tray- it has a pull lever on the front of each tray that slides one screen across the top of the other. There are little dowel rods that separate each row of eggs, so when you pull the lever to turn them, they roll and don't slide all over. It works very well! I have 40 eggs in it due to hatch on the 26th! 23 FBCM, 12 RLBW and 5 Polish.
 
Like Coopa Cabana, I trim the cartons waaaaaay down, with a hole in the bottom as well. And the chicks seem to like them!
