    Need to leave the eggs behind
    The U.S. Navy and my female normal have both conspired against me in the timing of my 4 eggs. I need to leave for a underway on day 47 and I won't get back to until day 61. Is there anyway I can set up the incubator to pull this off?
    They have been incubated at 88.8 most of the time. I have the top of the bins sealed with press and seal.

    Even if I take off the press and seal before I leave will they be ok in the egg container until I get back?

    yea they should be fine. I would leave the press and seal on as much as you can so they don't dry out. Maybe pull a corner up is what I was thinking.

    I would put a small, shallow dish of water in there, and just punch two small holes for ventilation. Make sure your incubator is tight, and re-moisten the media if need be--you want to keep your humidity up, which will be more challenging with the ventilation holes. Make sure the whole thing is escape proof, lol.

    Some remove the press & seal around day 45, then cover with reg lid, also as stated above add a water dish. If at all possible if you have someone who can check on them for you while you're gone, that would be great
