" LOCK DOWN HELP " , EGG CARTON OR LAYING DOWN IN THE INCUBATOR ?????

[MountainMarans2012]

I am getting ready for lock down in my still air incubator, no turning trays. I have seen some use egg cartons with bottom cut out till hatch.I need help with suggestions with what works best .....

I have always layed mine down when I go into lockdown and have had good results. I have them upright in a turner during incubation, but I feel it is best at hatching to be laying down. Just my experience

LOL...so true! I think sometimes there is so much info out there that it makes us question what we are doing sometimes

Nothing wrong with trying something new or a method that has been successful for others...but the best advice I have ever received is keep doing what works for you!
