penelope Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi There Our babies are doing well in the inccy & we have reached day 18 & turned off the self turning mechanism & now are waiting & watching for any little wiggles or noises! I have read that some people use j cloths on the bottom of the tray & some dont. The eggs are just on the tray without the dividers but I could put some on the bottom of the tray in if you think its best. Got the brooder all clean & ready with the heat lamp in place. 3 days seems like a lifetime to wait for me & my very eggsited 12 year old daughter!( who loves emoticons as if you didn't notic!!) Fingers crossed UI will be posting some pics next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Some inccubators have hatching mats already in them, like my Suro. I put J cloth into my polybox incc to give the chicks some grip and also to mop up any goo in an effort to keep the box clean. Good luck with your hatching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-a-doodle-doo Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 hi, We use j cloths on the floor of the incy too. Good luck with your little chicks. Hope you and your daughter get to see some hatch I love emoticons too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 J cloths do the job, I used rubber car dashboard mat in my old inccy and that was fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
