Would one soak one's own head in bleach? Might be a good starting question.

Ok I know that some people may not have grown up with animals and may not know you don't use bleach on any thing but clothes, but, I can not believe the comments!!! Really?? Like no one in this world has ever made a mistake?? As a Vet tech I have seen some stuff!! But, you would generally not hear a Vet tell a client anything like that!! Thank God the bird is ok, but WOW! talk about crucifying??? I don't have any white birds to clean, and I have never given a chicken a bath, but, I would imagine using a horse whitening shampoo would work? I know for blood we use Hydrogen peroxide and water, I would imagine as long as the bird didn't ingest anything it would be safe?? Just wondering?

On another note, I know someone out there has a Brinsea Octo 20, I just got mine and I plugged it in to check the temp before I get eggs to hatch It's at 100 right now and I turned it down, should I lift the lid and cool it down? ( there isn't anything in there) And, do you guys weight your eggs on top of candling? And do you candle at day 8 or 10 days? I have an auto turner, but I'm worried about the humidity:fl? I don't have a way to check it? I'm trying some test eggs in a few days, so I'm trying to get it ready to roll. Any experienced advice is always more than welcome!!! I'm sure I will have more questions in a minute!! LOL!

I had heard of that as a treatment, never saw anyone use it though?? Interesting?? I'm sure it would be watered down?? Applied with a cloth??

I just follow the guide booklet that it comes with. My first hatch went quite well, had 10 out of 12 hatch. Seeing as how it is sitting empty, it wouldnt hurt anything to lift the lid to cool it down. Make sence to me, that if you want to quikly check your adjustments in temp, that this would work. Now I dont think I would recomend doing that if you had eggs in it though.

Speaking of the eggs in my incubator. What is the chances that the eggs with lose yolks/air sacs will hatch? I also think I saw air bubbles floating around outside the air sac... I just dont know what to think, but left them all in the bator, and will candle on day 8, so two more days.

There are some conditions that people are recommended taking weekly bleach baths (1/4c per tub, sit for 15min)...

and lets not forget that we DRINK BLEACH in our drinking water, and swim in it if you go in any public swimming pools/jacuzzi's/hot tubs etc..
