Looking for incubator during lockdown.

[Azazan]

I have a large 700 egg incubator which works great, even for letting them hatch. I am constantly using it, but it tends to get very dirty from the chicks when they start hatching(they lose an incredible amount of tiny hair) and its rather difficult to clean out because constantly being in use(and in lockdown).
I was wondering of there are incubators just for the last few lockdown days where the chicks can hatch and i can disinfect em afterwards witouth having to spend 1000’s of dollars on a second large incubator just for that purpose

How many do u have hatching at one time. You could make a lock down area container. I have seen them made from fish tanks

About 100 chicks each time. I guess i could do that, finding a container the right size might be quite an issue tho, i dont think it can be much higher than 2,5 inches or it would press against the bottom of the turning system, basically theres enough room On the bottom of the incubator to put something the height of a duck egg. And wont full plastic bottoms cause issues with splayed legs etc? I definately wont have room to put bedding in the container. What about humidity if i have to put a lid on it? Wont the container get water in it? Even with some holes in top, the chick fluff litteraly goes everyywhere, so no containerlid would barely pospone the incubator dirtyness

anyone else? I tried the box suggestion, but witouth lid it had no effect and with lid something went wrong because my hatchrate was abysmal..
