    Egg question
    Just curious about something.. I am on day 33 of my first clutch, using vermiculite and no light diffuser. I have seen different ways that people place their eggs in the vermiculite. I chose to nestle the eggs down to where they are about half way in the vermiculite and half way not. Is this too far down?

    Only reason why I ask is because they have been somewhat dimpled from the get go and was wondering if they would plump up if they were just placed on top of the vermiculite with out nestling them down much if at all.

    Your thoughts?

    day 33 is fine to be slightly dimpled,
    what are your temps and humidity at?


    Edit: i forgot to mention,
    nestled in half way is perfectly fine.
    just dont do what i did and over moisten the verm.
    you should be fine though.
