How do you move your eggs?

[Whitey]

Ok, so I know that you are not supposed to rotate the eggs once they are laid... so my question is, how do you do it??? hand pick up the eggs? use a spoon?? tonges (sp)??? how do you get the eggs from the lay box to the incubator? Thanks.

Yes, I searched but found nothing pertaining to this.

I use my hands

i always use a sharpy and put a mark on top to indicate the top so you know top from bottom then just use my hands to move them to the incubator. i actualy had two laid tonight as well and they were conected to gether so i marked the tops and moved them together.

Mark the top and move em by hand.

Ok, by hand was the only thing I really needed. I read about marking the top.... I just didnt know if anyone scooped them up with a spoon with the surrounding lay medium in the spoon or by scooping up the surround lay medium with their hand... or just picking the eggs up themselves.... isnt it a little nerve racking to move the eggs by hand? I realize a spoon isnt much better but...

Once you get some eggs you'll see they aren't as fragile as one might think... I accidentally dropped one about three feet onto carpeted floor and it hatched out fine...

Wow.... I definetely wouldnt have thought that they were that strong.... thanks for relieving some stress!
