Thank you everyone for your replies - this has helped a LOT. Now, for another question. I obtained an Omaha Steaks cooler for the actual incubator. It seems very nice and sturdy and the walls are THICK styrofoam (I got the idea from another BYC'er, put an ad on my Freecycle for a cooler and a nice woman emailed me right away to say she'd just received steaks that day and I was welcome to her cooler
) Anyway, I know that many people talk about being able to "see" the pip and even take photos of chicks in the middle of hatching. So does that mean I should think about cutting a piece out of the lid and replacing it with a window? I'd kind of rather not, since it seems like it will hold temps better if I just leave it alone. On the other hand, if the time ever comes we have a hatch, I'm sure we'll want to watch so....what to do?
