Hatching out eggs

I keep the point down so that the air space is at the top. I do not handle the eggs so that there is less chance of bacteria getting through the shell. I bought some thin disposable gloves for handling.
Whilst in the boxes I lift one end of the box of the surface propped on something and then alter the tilt twice a day. You should according to my book keep them at 15-18c if theybare going in an incubator within one week. If being kept longer then store at 12-15c
This site I gfound very usful when I put my first eggs in

I have used a plastic box with an infra red light over for my brooder. If you look at the post Hello World it shows it. I will move them to an indoor rabbit hutch next week.

Good luck
Happiest in the countryside.
Breathe deeply, and let the butterflies fly in formation!
