I know smoking is bad for you but somtimes its bad for your bator too.

I lent my styrofoam incubator to a friend and when I got it back there was a BIG spot that looked melted. There was a spot about half-dollar size that was almost through with about an inch or two around it that wasn't that bad. I took a paper lunch sack folded over and taped it over the hole. I plugged the bator in and it kept temp good so I tried hatching with it. It worked great. Still does, and that was about 20 years and I don't know how many hatches ago.

LOL, You all kill me!!

Its about nickle sized. I dont think its losing heat but If i need to plug it i'll prob using some duck tape...LOL.

Thanks for all the encourging words to a silly unwatching smoker..LOL

Eggs are porous, smoke can contaminate your hatching eggs and affect your hatch rate.

Don't even smoke in the same room that you have a bator in.

Just my 2 cents from a fellow smoker.

The chicks might be hatched with an addiction to nicotine

Incubating is so stressful I have considered taking up smoking for 21 days....

Now I have a reason not to
