Towel in Incubator?

[themadbackpacker]

Hi!

I just have a real quick question. I'm rapidly approaching day 18 on my still air incubator and I've read that I should put down cheese cloth underneath the eggs now. Do I have to use cheese cloth or have you guys used anything else like towels underneath the eggs before they hatch?

Help help!

Thanks!

Bounty paper towels work just fine......

I don't put anything down. I hatch the eggs out in cartons, which just sit on the wire.
