Thank you pointing out the air holes! Overflow I don't have a concern about but the air holes I'll be careful to keep open.
I started with those wipes. They just weren't cutting it this round. Possibly because it was a staggered hatch. I had chicks hatching mostly Saturday then 1's and 2's through Wednesday. More time for debris to get baked onto the plastic I'd guess.
Oh, that could be it. I clean mine fairly quickly after the hatch is complete so that it doesn't have time to dry out in there and it's easy to rinse and then I use diluted bleach water to wipe everything down and rise again.
Edit to add, I also use the no-skid shelf liner at lockdown and there isn't nearly as much debris that gets below. It makes clean up easier and I also like that it offers something soft for the chicks to flop around on. lol
