RE: bags

I have received many eggs from Europe in the type of bag you detailed.  I
have not 're-bagged' any of the peat and provided there were viable eggs in
the bags when I received them, that type of plastic bag has not caused me
any problems that I am aware of.  I do not let the bags 'breath'.  I put
them in my chicken egg incubator at 79-80 degrees F and wait the appropriate
time.  I do check occasionally for moisture in the bags as some the lighter
color peats have tended to dry out a little too much over a longer
incubation period. For my own eggs, I have been using the 'fold-lock top'
sandwich bags which are very thin, but they seem to work well for me.

Subject: bags


I got a bag from someone in the Czech Republic a few weeks ago, with eggs
that had been collected in March, and have a 5 month incubation period, but
the bag is a smallish zip lock with red on the top. Should I assume this
type of bag has worked for this guy before, and leave it alone, or should I
try to move the peat to another bag, or should I open it for an airing
every once in awhile? I have it unzipped now, and the peat is about 10 cm x
10 cm in a 10 cm x 15 cm bag.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
