Anyone still following this thread?!

Can anyone do me a big favour and tell me what the plastic tray+4 wire dividers weigh in grams?? Was going to monitor weight loss for this hatch, loaded up my tray, weighed it full but forgot to weigh it empty, duh! Eggs have been in 24hrs now so don't want to disturb.

Thanks a million if anyone can help!

Hi
Glad you could join the flock! Sorry but my eggs are in lockdown so can't weigh my tray. But the weight of the tray and dividers shouldn't matter. It is the weight of each individual egg that counts. Some eggs will have started off weighing more than others in the first place and its 13% of the original weght loss of each egg that counts.
Hope this helps a little and hope you enjoy BYC

I have 2 octo ecos - use one to incubate and one to hatch. Suddenly the one I use to hatch has dropped to 98 and it will not go higher. Any suggestions warmly welcomed!

I got my second 20 Eco Adv today. Hubby decided I needed a second one cause the first was too small. He actually recommended I get the 40 but I was scared to spend that much money, lol.

If my DH said "buy the 40" I would've bought the 40...

I know! I should have! But we're in the middle of closing on 15 acres and about to build our house on our "farm". So I felt I needed to save back money for the closing costs and what not. Now that I think of it, that extra hundred and fifty would be peanuts. BUT... at least this way I can still say I need more incubating space and get a cabinet brinsea later, lol.

Haven't used mine in at least 6 months. Had a couple really terrible hatches and haven't done any since. Main reason is no eggs for me to hatch!
