moving... and looking for bright ideas:)

We're moving to a house approx 10km from where we are currently. Problem is .... we have an incuabator full of eggs(not that i ever like to complain about that).
So far, we are thinking about setting up incubator #2 at the new house 1 week early to give it time to set. After temps ect are stable we'd pack styrofoam containters with eggs and drive them over, probably only taking 10 clutches at a time.
Has anyone had experiance moving eggs before?

Suggestions please...

thanks for reading

I haven't done it before but your idea sounds good to me. Just take it SLOW!!!

hi Scott.......I have had to move clutches several times and the easiest way that I have found to move them without much problem with egg rolling etc,. is i took their egg box, put a small layer of papertowel or saran wrap over the eggs and put a thin layer of subtrate over top of the eggs to hold them in place. Cover ing up the eggs again, I placed them in a styro or rubbermaid big enough to hold the amount of eggs you have. Moving them is a breeze then as its very unlikely that the eggs will them roll, and when you get to othe new house, put them inot the newly set up incubator unlidding each clutch and just grab the four corners of the towel or saran and remove it carefully. The eggs go unharmed and no harm usually comes to them.
