INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

None of the cracks are straight, so you might try short pieces going at right angles to the cracks, rather than along the length of them. You'd want to use more than one piece on the longer ones.

Okay, thanks.

Hi guys! Im Cara. A newbie. Going to try and join your group. I was told it moves fast, but Wow! Had no idea! Lol. I put my first eggs in the bator today. 6 BR. Going Chooks dry method. Got an LG still air, so really crossing my fingers. I did a lot of reading the past coupke weeks, so hoping my studying will give me an upper hand.

Now Banti why'd yah go and karate chop it??

i would epoxy it and maybe put something stabilizing perpendicular to the cracks, like popsicle sticks

I'll have to adjust it anyways, as the lego snapped off too...... Might relegate it to a lockdown bator, if I can fix it, but considering 90% of quitters I have gotten in the LG happen at lockdown, maybe I had better not!

actually epoxy may melt the styro, may have to double check on that

Phooey.




No! I actually love that thing. It broke because of a sudden attack of clumsiness......... 'Nuff said.

Styrofoam. All the important parts are okay, it is just the Styrofoam that got busted.

Of course not!



I drank it!

100 % silicone will glue it. Once a rat ate a hole in mine. Cut a piece of packing styrofoam and put it back together with silicone. I mentioned 100% silicone as the rest have chemicals in it that might hurt eggs

Popsicle sticks? Good idea. Might have some, somewhere. I think I got some in a box of crafty stuff..... Not sure......
