On Saturday, we took out the automatic egg turner. The eggs no longer need to be turned after day 18. We will now prepare the incubator for the hatching of the baby chicks.
- Open the incubator
- Take the eggs out of the automatic egg turner and place them carefully in the egg cartons that they arrived in.
- Unplug and take out the automatic egg turner.
- Place a layer of cheese cloth (like a very thin paper towel) and place over the wire rack.
- Add sponges to the bottom channels of the incubator to increase moisture. Fill with water.
- Place the eggs back on to the cheese cloth. The eggs will now rest on their sides.
- Close up the incubator.
- Remove the red vent plug from the top.
Thank you to Dawn Nelson for videotaping the events.
