Everything Chicken Chatter Thread

Eek, yeah. That looks bad.

Hm. Is it pinkish colored if you wipe some of it with a napkin? If so, I've seen that before. Just keep wiping it out until the hatch is over or you don't see it anymore. I wouldn't use bleach or any cleaner while the eggs are still incubating though.

Aw, thanks!

It's yellowish brown.
I can use my non toxic incubator sanitizer to clean it out.
I never use bleach, anyways.

You're welcome.

Oh ok! That should be fine to use then.

I am assuming you are finished with your hatch. I saw another message where you said the egg turner had failed. If their is some residue on the motor of the turner, wipe with paper towel. If there is a residue then it is grease and I would clean with a mild bleach solution.

If your hatch isn't finished, I wouldn't bleach it until after the process was complete. Maybe use a mouth wash / water mix in the meantime.

I have Pure Green 24 for my incubator since it's not harmful.

Eggs are on day 7, so not done with my first hatch.

It uses Silver Ions.

I just wanted to know if I should wait, or go ahead, & clean it out. There's not a whole lot of stuff in there, so it shouldn't take anymore then a few minutes. But I have to do it later.

I would remove the eggs, clean it quick, and then re-place the eggs inside. They will be totally fine to cool a bit.

I might have to look into that cleaner.

Yep, I know. I just gotta bring an egg carton over.

You'll like it.

I might also be seeing a bit of that yellowish brown stuff in mine.
