I have a little giant incubator that was fluctuating a lot in temp so I taped around the cracks of the windows, and I now have it in a cupboard, with a towel over half of it, also I can't seem to find your last post about the wire floor, but I usually put that rubber shelf liner stuff on the floor, still has venting because of the tiny holes but I was worried about them snagging their little feet, also it makes the bator a snap to clean to put the next batch in, I roll up the liner with all the icky stuff on it and throw it away, then spray they bottom with a light bleach solution let set for 2 minutes then rinse, if it is really gunky I scrub a bit then I bleach

What a great idea. No effect on your temp? Mine was icky last hatch (which was my first LG hatch), and next hatch is coming up next week so I just might throw a piece of liner in myself!

My eight eggs are doing fantastic!! I can't believe I'm 8 for 8 so far, on day 21. One seems like it's a bit smaller than the others, but still moving a lot and air cells are beginning to draw back on all 8 so I'm very happy with it as a whole. Just working on keeping my humidity up now and finishing up my last few days of turning!!

Well heck haven't heard anymore pipping since yesterday. Don't see any beaks in the air cells and only 1 had movement this am. Today is day 26 and I'm a nervous wreck.

My fan is loud to, I put a toilet paper roll to my ear and put over the vent hole to hear. Lol My dh gets a good chuckle. Sleep, what's that I keep an eye open worrying about them.

how did you stabilize the Hovabator? I ordered one (still air) that should be here in a few days. I wanted the genesis, but I couldn't afford that one yet.......
