I'll have to agree. It was expensive and definitely not as easy to deal with as some people find it. Substrateless is way easier. I wish I would have done it form the start![]()
Here are my eggs and how I have the set up. The egg that went bad on day 18 just started to grow some mold. I haven't used any powder to keep the mold at bay. To be honest, I wanted to see what happened since I couldn't take them apart and they weren't covered with mold right away. I checked my calendar, they are at day 46 now, and all candled good. You can tell the order in which they went bad. Hopefully I won't lose any more, the grate seems to have fixed the problem. The one egg on the left detached from the middle egg, but not the top egg yet. I was not comfortable with pulling them apart or cutting the bad ones off. Plus I really don't want to cut open the bad ones and have that nasty goo all over the place. (they aren't touching the hatchrite at all anymore)
