- 1). Cut the bottoms off a 2-liter bottle so there is a large hole. Place the bottle upside down in the metal rack so the part where the soda pours out is on bottom and the cut bottom is on top.
- 2). Place the motor in the bucket directly under the bottle.
- 3). Place one end of the rubber tubing on the bottle's pour spout and the other end on the motor.
- 4). Put water in the bucket and turn on the motor.
- 5). Check the valves at the motor and the opening of the bottle to make sure you can control the flow of water into the bottle. The proper flow is imperative to creating a proper incubation environment.
- 6). Place the eggs in the zug jar once it has been filled; they will settle to the bottom.
- 7). Replace the water in the bucket every day to make sure the eggs are getting the optimum level of oxygen. Keep watch until they are near hatching, which could be as long as two months, according to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
