I used 2 pieces of 1/4" and 1 piece of 1/2".
Fastened it to the 2X4" and covered it with Pine Shavings.

I have 12 eggs in the Bator and I am on Day 12, I have 1 that is mostly clear, but I can see a dark spot toward the top, it covers about 1/4th of the top. The rest are almost completely dark. Is this a dead chick??
