Very cool. i almost bought an industrial sized incubator because it was on craigslist for $300 & held like a million eggs but I didn't know how I'd get it to my house. I opted for a GQF instead, which I got for cheep on CL as well. Here's a pic.

    lol..yes, you are the "momma" hen now....I would wait until he/she is totally dry (fluffy) to get him out...you can leave them in for about 24 hours if needed..I read it isn't good to open the 'bator once you have chicks pipping because this will make the humidity drop & the hatching chicks need...

    Thanks everyone for the ideas. It still stinks but I had to set it up for a hatch. I think it will be ok for the eggs, but when this hatch is over, this sucker is getting torn apart & cleaned thoroughly. :)

    Thank you both. I tried the bleach. Can't fit it in my tub though. lol Idk bout essential oils. You're right, residue might do something to the chicks.
