He will talk me through it? That sounds too good to be true!! I thought someone said you could get an auto thermostat for it, but I did not see it on the parts list. I REALLY will call him about how to set it though. Thank You....

yes he will. Mr. Dickey is great to work with!!!

Any other suggestions? I have never had a mess like this. I know that the contamination possibilities have to be horrible between the heat, damp, etc.

Not too many more options. Do you have a turner too?

I hand turn.

Quick trip in a very humid and warm bathroom. I mean, you have to figure a hen gets off the nest practically every day.

Thanks. That's kind of what I thought. I'll just get the heat and humidity up and have everything ready for the change out. I think I'll heat some old towels in the microwave and lay the eggs in those to clean the gunk off while the bottom is "showering". I'll just use Dawn antibacterial soap and hope for the best. I'm afraid to bleach and put everything right back in. Luckily I have my new Ecoglow brooder I can use to keep everyone warm. I love it.

That's best you can do for now. If you can find a back up incubator and get some Oxine. Better to use and won't harm the eggs at all.

Oh and hey, I'll tell ya some other things from my mad excursion over to Rachael's:

1) Yes, CPL really does have that many breeds. Plus a couple I don't remember ever seeing her offer on the swap yet -- she's been holding out on me!

2) I want her back porch. And everything on it!

3) If CPL ever offers Babymakes6's kids on the swap thread again, take them! Well, after I claim two or three

and 4) if Babymakes6 ever invites you to dinner, don't turn it down

YUM!!!

I'm sore as heck today, I'll admit, but it was really great getting to meet them finally. I can't wait for the April swap meet!

NO-my children will NOT be offered on the swap. Get your own!

Glad you enjoyed your supper.

swap meet!? what swap meet?

That looks like a huge swap! I suddenly feel desperate to visit my family that weekend
