How the heck do you clean out these flippen' Styrofoam bators?! I tried to clean mine after Friday's hatch, but it has green stains now; can't really scrub anything without tearing it up :P. I didn't use paper towels under the eggs like I do in my homemade bator -didn't want to affect the humidity or air flow, but yuck! What a mess. I have another batch going into the styrofoam "hatcher" on Friday. Should I be worried about the stains, and do you ever use something under the eggs to prevent goop from sticking to every surface?

Okay, finally upgraded to Golden Feather membership. I couldn't take having only ONE stinking ad on the BST forums, when I have so many breeds laying right now!

I know I could probably answer my own question but I'm just being horribly lazy at the moment.... How much and what benefits for that membership?

We're waiting on the same thing... for the market to come back so we can sell this house and build on the farm. It's only a mile and half from us but still a pain to not actually be living there.

Yep. Totally freaked me out when the snow/ice storms kept me from getting to ours. we have really awesome neighbors who keep an eye on things for us, but I don't like to ask them to do the feeding/watering for the masses unless we're out of town or something and it's been arranged ahead of time.

Dishwasher. No, seriously. You won't be able to put anything else in there, but the part with windows should go in the bottom rack (so water can get through to the other piece), and the base should go in the top rack. All other pieces can go around it. You just have to take it apart and make sure all electrical components are out of it. Mark the wires with fingernail polish so you know which one connects to what when you put it back together.
