Like Joe said, why not leave them with mom?

>>If you are using the hovavbator, the eggs MUST go in a seperate egg box (rubbermade type disposable ones work well). If you just drop the eggs in you hovabator, the eggs will dry out too quickly.

Only if you use the fan model will it be harder to keep up the humidity. I have used the fan model successfully without an inner chamber. I needed to add less than half a cup of water about once every 10 days. Right now, I use multiple hovabators with the fan disconnected and still do not use an inner chamber. Although, I now use styrofoam fish boxes as the bottoms. They hold more vermiculite, eggs and moisture.

Again, if you are new to this, I recommend leaving the eggs with mom. Just ensure they are not directily exposed to heat.
