Oxine in the Incubator?

[MoodyChicken]

First Sate Vet Supply is having a sale on Oxine, so I ordered a gallon of it.

I've used it before, and I've put some in my bird's drinking water to keep things from growing in it. Could I put some in my incubator too? Or would that possibly kill the eggs? If yes, how much should I put in the water?

If the birds can drink it, I'm pretty sure it wont kill the eggs...

And that is a shame when the shipping is more than the product!!!

Yeah, it was $2 cheaper than the product for me. Still cost a lot, but cheaper than if I were to order it not on sale.

I order mine from amazon. Still shipping, but not too bad.

I've sprayed it on eggs with no problems.. actually now I spritz all eggs at least once with it during incubation .. plus when i add water to the incubator I use oxine in the water troughs to keep the humidity where it needs to be
I also spray the inside of the incubators with oxine in between hatches (as well as the regular cleaning routine)

I know this is an old thread, but can anyone tell me what dilution to use for sanitizing the incubator between hatches?

Look up general instructions on shagbark bantums. I used one-fourth tsp in one quart glass canning jar. Poured some in the incubator while starting it up to mist the crevices.after rinsing with this. Let it dry. Just had 5 out of 6 chicks hatch. Im no expert but all chivks are ok. Hope that helps a little.
