Love to hear everyone’s methods, thoughts, and experience with this. Thanks!

Hi Frank!
Timely discussion as I was just thinking about how I'll do it, this year. In the past I've always used sealed disposable food storage containers, no holes. I open them once a week to check on humidity levels and circulate some fresh air. When I know that it's getting close to hatch time, I'll check more often. If I have to be away for a period of time, I'll punch holes in the lids, but otherwise I'm pretty much hands off. I've had pretty good success. I like these because I can get multiple shapes and sizes and it doesn't cost much. That way if I have a tall bunch of eggs, or a long line of eggs, I can simply match the container to the shape of the clutch. I'll probably do the same this year.
Great question!
