I do have an anitbacterial spray which will work great on the lid as well as the bottom. I don't want to use bleach near the metal parts but it will be fine on the bottom where most of the dirt is.
Do you use straight bleach or dilute it by a certain ratio with water?
I went from previous batch to current batch without cleaning / disinfecting. Kinda worry. I'm adding a tiny bit of Pine Sol to the humidifying water. I always added a some vinegar but this time I used Pine Sol to help disinfecting. I used it before and it didn't seem to kill the chicks.
When I built my incubator I didn't take cleaning into consideration. Now it's quite a pain to take everything apart to clean it. Will have to think about this in the next design.
vinegar does a pretty good job of inhibiting bacteria growth.Pine sol is very aromatic, and quails tend to be allergic..for example cedar wood is too aromatic for use with quail, not that you wont get away with it but I would be concerned.
