Anyone else reverse top and bottom on LG incubator???

[mnferalkitty]

I hated how on my LG incubator the bottom was so shallow and when I opened the top the chicks would jump out, so I reversed it and made the bottom the top and the top the bottom. Has anyone else done this? It was pretty simple to do I just took the heating element etc. off and put it all back on to the bottom(which would now be my top.

I can't be the first person to think of this and do this?

I do not open my LG. I open one of the plastic windows.

I wasn't able to do that without burning my hand.

I made a spacing ring to make it taller and it works better

They make spacing rings for the older model Hovabators (before 2005) in a square shape a lot like the little giant. The little giant, and MOST LIKELY the farm innovators incubator.

If the chicks are jumping out isn't it time to put them into a brooder.

I don't leave the top off and just let them jump out. Its when I open the bator to get them out to move them to the brooder. they are fast little things and easily get out of the incubator if I am not careful when I open it to move them
