    Eggs Won't Fit In Tub

    I had a female drop 11 eggs today and only two of them were separate from the rest. I tried a little to detach a few of them so they would fit in the egg tub, but I was afraid I would damage them.

    The problem is in order to fit them in the egg tub, there are a few that are mashed up against the side of the tub. I was wanting to know if that would cause them any damage or if I should try to buy a round tub and prepare it and move the eggs into it tomorrow?

    Buy a bigger tub they will be fine until tomorrow, I don't recommend keeping the eggs against the sides long term as condensation will form on the sides.

    I had a very similar problem this year had 7 huge eggs and she laid them in a pyramid so they were too tall for my egg tub and the next size tub was too tall for my incubator was a pain to get them in lol good luck with yours like deb said just get a bigger tub if you can.
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
