any reason why

[GotCochins?]

a hovabator still air would have a ether smell? i borrowed a second bator to use as a hatcher and when i plugged it in it had a ether smell.seemed it got worse the longer it ran.dont know if it was some sort of cleaner that was used or not but i cant think of a reason why or what would cause it.obviously, i cant use it til its aired out but thought i would ask.

The wafer has gone bad-replace it pronto! The ether leaked out and air out that bator really well to get rid of any lingering ether smells. That happened to me with a brand new wafer and the company rushed a new one to me because I was expecting shipped eggs in three days. Never forget that smell.

thanks so much. i never knew what liquid was in the wafer but that is the only thing it really could be.

Feedstores around here carry the wafers. They're about $6 each and easy to replace.
