One thing to consider though, at the end of the incubation process the eggs warm up. I use containers with 12 holes in them. I tape and cover up 9 of them until day 50, then I open up all 12 air holes to keep the eggs from heating up. I've seen discussions with several opinions and I'm sure you can do it other ways, this just works for me.
Thank you David! So how exactly do you "hang" the probe?? Just string taped on the top and tied around the probe?

And if you put holes in them, do you need to add an extra open box of water on the bottom of the incubator to increase the humidity since some of the humidity in the tubs will be escaping?

Oh, and one more question! (sorry haha), Do you, or have you heard of anyone, putting a small (i mean like 1/4 inch or less) wedge under the tubs to keep the condensation rolled to the edge so it wont drip onto the eggs?
