WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

If I use the eggies, I can put just the whites in. My eggs are mundo jumbo, so they wouldn't fit completely in them

Your not kidding they are what I would consider extra Jumbo.

I love pickled eggs here, They don't last long here. Never tried the eggies, but I don't have a problem with the peeling or cracking.

That's great! I hope they all hatch for you. Let me know how they do.

So I snagged a LG incubator at TSC for $36 today. I plan to use it as a hatcher. I have a Hovabator genesis and Brinsea mini as incubators...and I'm starting to stagger the hatching (true hatchaholic now). Anyone else do this? I'm sure most do eggs are always being swapped.

I have staggered hatches running in 3 bators right now. More eggs on the way

Well I figured as much...lol. I just thought it would be easier. I've had to tweak my Hovabator's temps and I'm dry hatching this time and they are doing good so far..wiggly...and more wiggly than normal even with shipped eggs.

I try to use 1 as a hatcher when I can, but that doesn't work when they are all stuffed full & you have about 12 different hatch dates.

Well I already got the 'stink eye' for buying a 3rd incubator just to hatch in...oh well!!

My fiance is actually all on board. 1 of the bators has "his" eggs in it for the Easter hatch-a-long

He knows I'm on the lookout for a cabinet bator too. He's all for that, especially if it means he doesn't have to turn by hand any more.
