In the Brooder
So I'm using the little giant still air incubator as a hatcher. It's in the same shed as the brooders so I thought the smell was the brooders. No...the hatcher smelled like mildew. It was so strong I felt bad about keeping the newly hatched ones in there to dry. After I put the babies in the brooder, I hosed off the bottom and screen of the incubator and cleaned it with the spray I clean the gecko cages with and dried it. Turned it back on and when I went to put another batch of eggs it was stinky again. Soaked it in bleach for a little while because it's Styrofoam. I thought I solved the problem but I went check temps and could smell that moldy gross smell coming from it. My incubator is in my closet and it never stinks. Is it because of the different bacteria outside? What can I do?
