So I found 7 large, healthy, veiny eggs last nightI was expecting them any day so she was right on schedule but I was surprised how well she did for a first time mother and she was only 1200 grams when I started pairing her about 8 months ago. She ate well the whole building process and got up to 1800 grams last time I weighed her. AnywY, I couldn't be happier, I was just hoping for 3-5 healthy eggs so 7 with no slugs is great.
I do have a question. Since this is my first time, I'm probably over paranoid but I just want to double check that I have them setup right for the long weight. I've had my incubator setup and running for about a month now and it doesn't fluctuate at all, it's 88 degrees and 99% humidity so I'm pretty sure that's good. My only concern is that the tub the eggs are in builds a ton of condensation so I propped one end up about 1/2" so any drips on the top will hopefully run down to one side rather than dripping on the eggs. Is that ok that they are not level? I know it's important to keep the eggs how the mother had them which wasn't an issue because I was able to move all seven together in a stuck together group but that got my thinking about how being unlevel technically changes which side of the egg is up a little. Am I over thinking things?
