Paper towels in incubator

[Kitty_stuber]

I have a Nurture Right 360 incubator. On day 18 can I put paper towels under the eggs so that there is less of a feathery mess to clean up after hatching?

I would use some of that grippy shelf liner. It gives the chicks really good footing as well, and you can cut the correct size to fit. Plus, it has some small holes so your eggs will get better ventilation than with paper towels. It's very inexpensive, I can get a roll for under a dollar.

Thank you so much! I will do this.
