I think the metal mesh floor is there more for sanitary reasons than anything else. The hatching process can be messy. You can't scrub the bottom of a styrofoam incubator, you can take the mesh floor out and clean it.

Wouldn't everything fall through a mesh floor and onto the styrofoam anyway? I'm not sure because my incubator is a re-purposed wine fridge and I keep the eggs in small plastic tubs the whole time. That way I can just wash the tub and put it back.

the wire is there to help the chicks get there footing and stand up. without something for them to grip they can get messed up legs. the egg shells just fall through the wire and blood and anything else that happens. i have a styro incubator and it gets soo messy after hatches. the wire dnt stop the mess
