Humility Control cups wick sponges water

[Joyfillednomads]

How to control humidity in the incubator and post-hatch brooders?
Lots of people love sponges.
I hate having to throw these away after each hatch.
We are trying to limit contamination between batches. So something inexpensive that we can toss out after a hatch makes me happy.
Ever make snowflakes out of paper as a kid? Same concept.

NEED:
Paper towels
String
Scissors

You could try the blue wicks they make for evaporative coolers. They could be soaked in a solution of Clorox and water to disinfect them. The humidity wicks that are commercially sold cannot be washed or sterilized. They pretty much disintegrate if you try to wash them.
