Fletch Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Saw this being discussed again on another forum so decided to put this together. Just what works for me. :-) Use 1.25ltr coke bottles. Best size for water flow. Approx 1 ltr water, add one tablespoon salt (I use sea salt flakes) and 1/2 teaspoon eggs. Best hint is spend the money on good eggs and store the eggs in the freezer once opened. Use light to attract them to the bottom. Hatched eggs float, unhatched sink. I wait for them to collect in the neck of the bottle. Syringe them out of the neck. Don't go too low as you don't want unhatched eggs.

briztoon Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Pretty much what I do as well. Nice and cheap (well except for the eggs), and easy to make. Make sure you keep the eggs in the fridge in a moisture proof container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I keep my eggs in the freezer. Still get good hatch rates out of a batch that's 2 yr old. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I keep my eggs in the freezer as well but I put a qty off eggs in a plastic pill bottle with the child proof lids and only take that out when making up batches not the whole tin that way the lid stays on the tin and it is only opened to fill the small bottle. I paid $90. for my tin and it was $30 delivery an easy six months ago. I think that is well worth the benefits Cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
