Great news Sarah You might want to try damp peat to incubate the eggs on Sarah. The acid in the peat will keep down any bacteria and will help erode the shell. That helps the embryo breath as it gets larger, to have a thinner shell. I'd bury 1/3 of the egg in the peat as you don't want the eggs to suck up to much water and crack. Keep the peat just damp enough to hold together in a ball without any water dripping out when you squeeze it.
