Ravyn, the duck ladie would like your opinion on setting duck eggs.

I'm going to make hardware cloth tubes for one of the trays in my GQF cabinet so I can try horizontal turning. I've not had problems with the egg trays, but what the heck...can't hurt, right?

It will just be a simple design with several tubes of 1/4" hardware cloth edged with something grippy. They'll sit side by side to fill the bottom of the tray, front to back, and will be zip tied to the hardware cloth bottom of the tray. Loading and unloading will just be by spreading the wire a little. There is no need to make them too tight, they won't roll out.

I'm not setting again until after Lima in March. Most of mine are backyard mutts right now but are laying gorgeous colored eggs! Let me know if you want some to put in the bator

Some really cool mixes in there! I got the most beautiful olive egg today

More auctions!! Btw, get some of the flat rate Med and Large boxes... figure out how many you can pack in each size and use those... takes the guesswork outta shipping costs

Yep, I have those boxes. I may not have mentioned I let the auction get to too many eggs, then they wouldn't fit in the large flat rate box.

Won't include so many eggs next time. I didn't expect them to lay so many more, and I didn't want to lie about the additional eggs.

Huh, looks like Brinsea doesn't make or sell the Brinsea 40 style anymore. Guess they decided to discontinue it in favor of their Ovation style incubators. They still do the Brinsea 20s though.

Great, my incubator is now extinct.
