What does everyone use to clean their bator and if you do, how long do you let it air out after? I cleaned mine out with a water bleach solution early yesterday and let it air out for about 2hrs and now it's warmed up & ready to set my new shipped eggs but is it ok if it still has a hint if bleach smell?

back in the day, when I was a wipper snapper nurse, we soaked baby bottles in bleach, pulled them out, shook them then filled formula and shoved them in a newborns mouth.

a hint of sodium hyptochlorite wont hurt

i always use bleach

LOL! Thanks, Oz, but I'm O.K. I'm just really hoping I won't have to assist. Though that being said I now have a grand total of 3 malpositions.

I'll see how the first 2 are doing when I get up tomorrow morning. They pipped yesterday afternoon (my time).
You got this! Hopefully they hatch on their own.

I clean the gunk out with water and white vinegar. Then everything gets bleached. Let dry or if going to be used again plug in and do not add water. I let it dry out and the smell disappears.
it wont hurt

Now days everything gets sterile packaging and tossed when done.

If you have any citric acid, make a solution with about quart of water and 1 T. citric acid. It dissolves the residue left by the bleach. (We make wine and that is what we have to do).
 
i am calling my hatch over tonight

from the lockdown

from Bator one

5/8 swedish flower hens
6/11 salmon favs - one died pipping wrong end - i assisted another out.- they were shipped in cartons - small end up. 3 i opened died upside down. stopped opening
1/1 buff brahma
1/1 mystery yellow chick with a hint of brown down on the back of its neck that was labeled buff brahma by shipper but not

from bator 2 - a wonderful genesis that the little 12v adaptor plug accidently was not all the way in for atleast 5-8 hours on day 7
3/14 buff brahma but their feet were deformed - the back toe was a stub, front toes fused. They could not stand - culled
0/2 BCM
0/5 golden campines

bummed about the second bator but that loss of power was too much

over all a successful scientific experiment

oh look how adorable!! mix of what? is it a blue egg and a bantam?
I know!!! I'm in love with it. Well they lady I got them from had 3 BBS Americaunas, one of each color and the Roo is either a BLRW or a Black Orp. So who knows? Looks like it might be blue to me. I don't think they were bantams but I should probably ask. Most of the eggs were small, I'd guess pullet eggs.
 
Halo has major swelling upper drumbstick, not eating had to give the tylan orally in dropper because he wouldnt eat the tiny pc of bread. eyes closing. I think he will go to sleep on his own tonight.

I am off....... be back tomorrow
